About Engage Gwinnett

Engage Gwinnett: Citizens Committee for the Future of Gwinnett County is a citizen-led initiative where committee members will spend approximately six months looking at the community’s needs for current and future government services and proposing funding strategies to pay for those services over the next five years.

Engage Gwinnett will strategically involve the community in the process of making informed recommendations to the Board of Commissioners about future service levels, funding needs, and revenue resources. The committee is made up of representatives from 30 community stakeholder groups and 10 self-selected citizen leaders. The group will seek common ground, workable solutions, and compromises when necessary. The initiative was kicked off with a public meeting on September 9, 2009.

Engage Gwinnett Meeting, March 3, 2010

Engage Gwinnett conducted the 11th session of the full committee on Wednesday, March 3 at the Gwinnett Center. Co-Chair Bill McCargo gave a report on the four community meetings before the individual workgroups assembled.  

Within their individual workgroups, committee members focused on their recommendations for presentation to the rest of the committee. Once complete, all recommendations will be incorporated into the group’s final product, which will then be presented to the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.

The next meeting will be held at 8:00am on March 17 at the Gwinnett Center. During the final meetings, members of the work groups will refine their recommendations regarding desired service levels and funding mechanisms for the next five years. Check the Engage Gwinnett website for summaries of the meetings, including all presentations and materials provided to the committee members.
