Gwinnett County Update 2019


Charlotte Nash

Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners 

Gwinnett County remains one of the fastest growing counties in Georgia, in percentage and in sheer numbers. The county population is currently estimated at 920,000 and should surpass one million people before 2020 and may surpass 1.5 million by 2025 at the current growth rate. Along with that population increase comes a corresponding increase in traffic both in the county and in the metro area. 

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted to hold a special referendum on March 19, 2019, for Gwinnett County citizens to consider whether to approve a one cent sales tax that would fund the expansion of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) into Gwinnett County.

Register now to hear Chairman of the Gwinnett County Commission, Charlotte Nash, address this and other issues facing Gwinnett County in 2019. The upcoming referendum will be an historic event that will determine how Gwinnett County fits into the future of Metro Atlanta.

There will be time for Q&A and you may submit your question in advance by including it in the comments section of your registration.

Charlotte J. Nash was elected Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in a special election on March 15, 2011. In 2012, she was re-elected without opposition.
