Lilburn is already kind of home to part of the Evermore CID running along US78 between Stone Mountain and Snellville.  As an area resident, some of the improvements that are directly and indirectly a result of the CID are quite obvious.

  The updating of the bridge over the Yellow River between Lake Lucerne and the Yellow River Game Ranch.

• Roadway improvements including new medians from East Park Place out to around Highpoint Road.

There is also another direct project that hasn’t been visible yet… the rehabilitation of the old Olympic Tennis venue on West Park Place near the (now closed) Super Target.

But another group is trying to  bring a new Community Improvement District to Lilburn. This one would run along US29 from Jimmy Carter Blvd out to Ronald Reagan Parkway.

It will be interesting to see all of the plans for this area.  There is a lot of commercial activity along the corridor, but it has never really been a destination like The Avenues in Snellville or some of the town centers (Norcross comes to mind).  There are a lot of great places to shop, eat and play in Lilburn, GA.
