Gwinnett Holds Town Hall Meeting Tuesday Night in Suwanee
The event, part of a series of town halls, will be from 6:15-8:30 p.m. at George Pierce Park in Suwanee.
It'll be a homecoming of sorts for Jace Brooks Tuesday night. Brooks, who is in his first full term as Gwinnett District 1 commissioner, will be part of a Gwinnett Town Hall meeting in Suwanee on Tuesday (April 30).
The event, part of a series of town halls, will be from 6:15-8:30 p.m. at the George Pierce Park Community Center, on Buford Highway. The open house will be at the start of the program, with questions and comments beginning at 7 p.m.
Brooks was a Suwanee City Council member from 2002-12, before leaving to run for commissioner. He actually was sworn in late in 2012 to fill the term vacated by Shirley Lasseter. District 1 includes Suwanee, Duluth and Sugar Hill.

Already in 2013, Brooks has had an effect. Such transportation projects as the coming traffic signal on McGinnis Ferry Road and a multi-use path along Suwanee Dam Road have begun under Brooks' leadership.
And this promises to be another eventful year for the commissioners. The board has to decide whether to call for a vote in November to extend the current SPLOST program, which expires at the end of 2013.
