Projects in Progress
In 2010, the DDA will turn its promotional efforts to attracting economic development to the downtown area and expanding that area toward Buford Highway. In doing so, we will integrate the appropriate parts of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the 2010 Parking Study, the Town Center LCI, the Redevelopment Area Overlay District, the Gwinnett Village CID plan for Buford Highway, and additional input from the citizens of Norcross.
