PROJECT UPDATES

Being the largest CID in the state also means we have a great deal of critical projects and studies happening. Gateway85 has a goal to add another three miles of sidewalks in the district within the next year to increase accessibility. 

Another goal of the CID is to keep the district as orderly and beautiful as possible to maintain the area’s appeal to business owners and their clients. On March 1, the Gwinnett County Code Enforcement is adding six additional officers in order to regulate development, construction and maintenance of all property in unincorporated areas.

MARTA TO INVEST IN NEW RAIL CARS

Did you know that MARTA is spending $646 million to purchase 254 new rail cars to replace cars that are between 30 to 40 years old? This is the single largest procurement for the rapid transit system and a milestone in MARTA's capital improvement program. These new rail cars will continue to improve MARTA's on-time performance and reduce the number of unscheduled repairs associated with an aging fleet.

NEW BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett is a nonprofit organization that serves the uninsured and underinsured working community of metro Atlanta. Nearly 14 percent of Gwinnett County’s population is living below poverty level and 26.5% of its working population is without health insurance. Located on Jimmy Carter Boulevard in the heart of the Gateway85 district, the Center offers medical, dental, counseling and pharmacy services that are affordable and easily accessible.

The Center sets new patient visit records each year, and as Gwinnett County continues to grow, the demand for medical and dental services is also increasing. To support the needs of a population reaching nearly one million people, the Good Samaritan Health Center has launched its 2020 Capital Campaign to relocate its East clinic to a bigger and more accessible facility. To learn more about how you can contribute, watch the Clinic’s campaign video here or visit goodsamgwinnett.org.
