(Lawrenceville, Ga., Sept. 12, 2018) – The Board of Commissioners recently awarded a contract to make close to a million dollars’ worth of sidewalk improvements on Pleasant Hill Road.

“We are grateful for our partnership with the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District and for Gwinnett voters who enabled this project to happen by approving the SPLOST sales tax,” said Jace Brooks, District 1 commissioner.

CMES, Inc., was the lowest of four responsive bidders at $986,594. The project has two sections – from Shackleford Road to Club Drive and from Old Norcross Road to Satellite Boulevard.

In addition to the sidewalk, CMES will install landscaping, curb and gutter and accompanying drainage structures along the project, which is about 1.15 miles long.

The project is funded by the 2009 SPLOST program and the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District.
