Summary

Council members said construction on the long‑planned Briscoe Park Community Center is underway, the city secured unspecified federal and state grants to help pay for the project, entered a sewer agreement with Gwinnett County, and noted county help is being sought for an issue at the Highway 78/North Crestview intersection.

During council reports on Feb. 9, members highlighted several infrastructure and development items.

Councilmember Heatherington told the council that construction began on the Briscoe Park Community Center, described as a project more than 20 years in the making, and said the city had obtained federal and state grants to help fund the project; the exact amount cited in the meeting record was unclear. She also said the city recently entered a sewer agreement with Gwinnett County.

Mayor Pro Tem Norman Carter reported on a recent meeting with a Gwinnett County commissioner and the city’s zoning director regarding a problem at the Highway 78 and North Crestview intersection; Carter said the county commissioner "is going to do whatever she can to help come to some resolution for that intersection." Carter also described meetings with an Angolan delegation interested in doing business with Snellville and Gwinnett County.

Councilmembers noted the hire of Jan Harris as downtown development director and highlighted increased activity at The Grove (restaurants, brewery and events) as part of downtown growth.
