About Engage Gwinnett

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

Engage Gwinnett strategically involved 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 sought common ground, workable solutions, and compromises when necessary. The initiative was kicked off with a public meeting on September 9, 2009.
