Gwinnett County officials have outlined a proposal that would restore some of the spending reductions made earlier this year to the county’s public safety, parks and recreation, and social services programs. The proposal would be funded by a 2.28-mill increase in county property taxes.

Public hearings on the proposed property tax increase will be held on Monday, November 23 at 10:00am and 6:00pm and on Tuesday, December 1 at 7:00pm at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. All three hearings will take place during a special called meeting of the Board of Commissioners. The public hearing on December 1 will be followed by a vote by the Board.

Information about what the proposed tax increase will fund - and what it will not fund - is readily available for review on the county website, www.gwinnettcounty.com.
