Board of Commissioners adopts $2.67 billion budget for 2025
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved a $2.67 billion budget to fund County operations and projects for 2025.
The approved budget consists of a $2.11 billion operating budget and a $555 million capital improvements budget, which includes funds from the County’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program.
The adopted budget allows Gwinnett County Government to address local needs such as public safety, community health, and high-quality infrastructure while balancing increasing costs of labor, materials, and services facing the County and residents alike.
The budget also includes the approval of organizational changes, including the creation of the Parks and Recreation Department, which was previously part of the Department of Community Services.
Initiatives in the budget include:
- The addition of six employees, vehicles and equipment to support the Police Department through the Community Service Aides pilot program to strengthen community engagement and respond to non-emergency requests for service
- New software for the E911 call center to help improve resource allocation
- State-of-the-art disinfection systems at Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants to improve employee safety and reduce operational costs
- Additional staffing to address growing transportation infrastructure needs and help improve traffic flow throughout the county
- A focus on maintenance and repairs for Parks and Recreation through additional ground crews, vehicles and equipment to enhance residents’ experience at county parks
As part of the budget development process, department directors and elected officials presented business plans for 2025 to three Gwinnett residents recruited by Chairwoman Hendrickson, who reviewed the departmental requests and made recommendations.
Commissioners held a public hearing on the budget on December 3 and accepted comments online through December 31 before making their final decision.
