Tech Drive Mid-Block under construction- Construction will begin soon on a mid-block crossing on Tech Drive between Indian Trail Road and Singleton Road.

Code Enforcement Throughout the District - The CID is increasing its code enforcement activities by conducting weekly code-enforcement rides throughout the district and working with Gwinnett County and the cities of Norcross and Peachtree Corners to address code concerns. Active code enforcement will help to maintain and elevate the attractiveness of the Gateway85 area.

Gateway85 Board Member Phil Sadd Graduates Leadership Gwinnett Class

Congratulations to Gateway85 Board Member Phil Sadd on his graduation from the thirty-fourth Leadership Gwinnett class in May. This year's class raised $10,000 for the Leadership Gwinnett Scholarship Fund.

According to Phil, when he entered into the Leadership Gwinnett program already in a leadership position, he felt as if he was doing the most he could but his growth felt capped. He recognizes Leadership Gwinnett as the key to unlocking his growth and expanding his potential.

Since its founding in 1985, nearly 1,200 community leaders have graduated from the Leadership Gwinnett program.

In 2012, Sadd was appointed to the Gateway85 CID Board of Directors by the City of Peachtree Corners where he resides and serves as the city council Post 1 representative.
