STORY 4: SPLOST
Gwinnett County commissioners have approved a project list worth $759.8 million, funded by the special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST) that was approved by voters last year.

The majority of the funds will be allocated to transportation projects, with $97.2 million dedicated to parks. Key transportation projects include the extension of Sugarloaf Parkway, improvements to Interstate 85 crossings, a new interchange at I-985 and Thompson Mill Road, pedestrian bridges, and capacity improvements at various locations. These projects aim to address infrastructure demands and support the county's growing population.

Story 5: rentals
Gwinnett County commissioners have approved an amendment to the Property Maintenance Ordinance, aiming to hold landlords accountable for the proper upkeep of rental properties. The amendment establishes minimum standards for interior conditions and grants code enforcement officers more power to enforce violations. The changes, effective from July 31, align the ordinance with the International Property Maintenance Code, addressing structural maintenance, lighting, ventilation, plumbing, fire safety, and more. The county also made updates to improve safety standards for swimming pools, lighting at various properties, and the maintenance of buildings and structures. The revisions aim to ensure that residents have safe and comfortable living conditions.
