The 25th Suwanee Day Festival - 09/22/08 06:01 PM
The 25th Suwanee Day Festival kicked off with the traditional parade. As a long time resident of Suwanee - 21 years to be exact, but first time volunteer, I awoke at 5:45 a.m. to start my day. After a quick detour for my morning brew at Starbuck's, I found my way to the back parking lot of Suwanee Town Center - still half asleep! I parked my car and walked a respectable distance along Buford Hwy. in the dark (a risk I was willing to take....) and arrived promptly to my destination on Main Street in Historic Suwanee at 7 a.m. … (2 comments)

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA .... A TAD bit excited......for Revitalization in Gwinnett - 09/22/08 05:08 PM
By: Chuck Warbington, PE - Executive Director, Gwinnett Village CID
As the dust continues to settle over the July primary elections and we analyze the results, Gwinnett took a major step in setting a positive course for our future with the passage of the Redevelopment Powers Law.  This new policy allows the County to encourage positive change in depressed and declining areas of the County through a creative financing mechanism.
The ballot question, referenced as the Redevelopment Powers Law, centers around the use of Tax Allocation Districts (TADs).  TADs allow local governments to leverage private investment to pay for infrastructure and … (0 comments)

This month the city of Suwanee will begin the process of updating the 2002 Old Town Master Plan.In a collaborative effort, city officials, residents and consultants will attempt to blend old with new, past with present. 
Quiet, quaint, and once the hub of Suwanee's business district, Historic Old Town is a short distance southwest of Suwanee Town Center.  Just off Buford Highway, which runs directly through Suwanee, buildings like Pierce's Corner Antiques and Rhodes House are reminiscent of days gone by, yet are still an integral part of Suwanee.  By revamping the 2002 Old Town Master Plan, city officials will attempt … (0 comments)

Suwanee Day Festival - 09/04/08 04:20 PM

 
The Suwanee Day Festival has always been a community festival.  The first Suwanee Day Festival dates back to May, 1984 and was held behind the current Gwinnett County Fire Station #13  - one year before Suwanee had its first traffic signal  - with about 75 people in attendance!  The area was growing and many new residents were moving into Suwanee. Not knowing much about our city, the hope was the festival would allow new comers to get involved, create a sense of community, while at the same time providing a venue where people would be able to show off their talents or skills.
By 1990 the Suwanee Day Festival was moved … (2 comments)
