Proposed 2021 budget focuses on strategic priorities
Gwinnett Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash presented her $1.91 billion proposed budget for 2021 during a briefing on November 17.

The proposed budget for 2021 totals $1.91 billion, up 3.7 percent from the 2020 adopted budget. It consists of a $1.47 billion operating budget and a $441 million capital improvements budget, which includes funds from the County’s SPLOST program.

Nash tightened some parts of the budget to create flexibility to respond to COVID-19 challenges in 2021. The budget includes coronavirus response and additional funding for the Gwinnett Public Health Department. The budget also includes transportation projects and enhancements to a network to reduce congestion and to respond quickly to accidents. The budget funds two new parks in underserved areas, adds positions in Elections, Transportation, and Information Technology, and addresses homelessness. Funding is included for the new Gwinnett Entrepreneur Center and Water Tower innovation center.

“This budget deals not only with current challenges but also anticipates issues the County will face in the future. It continues Gwinnett’s tradition of conservative budgeting based on strategic planning,” said Nash. “I believe it provides a good financial foundation for the County as new members of Gwinnett’s leadership team step into their roles next year and take responsibility for delivering the superior services our community has come to expect from Gwinnett County.”

Commissioners will accept public comments during a public hearing Wednesday, December 9 at 7:00pm at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville. Residents are also encourage to provide comments online through December 31. The Board will consider adopting a final budget on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
