ANOTHER VIEW: Mountain Park community questions tennis venue proposal

By Kate Pittman  |  Rumor has it Costco is interested in building a third store in Gwinnett.  The understanding is that it is considering the site of the 1996 Olympic tennis courts, located off U.S. Highway 78, in the shadow of Stone Mountain.  Before readers get excited about another Costco, there is much the community and Board of Commissioners need to consider. There are tradeoffs, especially in long-term planning and quality of life.
