Two Gwinnett projects recognized for redevelopment impact

Two Gwinnett redevelopment projects found themselves in the spotlight at the recent Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit. The Lawrence Hotel in Lawrenceville and Crest Pointe Village in Peachtree Corners won two of the four MARS Awards at the summit, which was held last Wednesday at 12Stone Church in Duluth. Partnership Gwinnett and the Council for Quality Growth co-hosted the summit. “Redevelopment creates opportunities for communities to compete and grow,” Partnership Gwinnett Senior Vice President of Economic Development Kevin Carmichael said. “The projects and leaders recognized at MARS demonstrate what happens when public and private partners align around a shared vision. “Their work strengthens our business climate, creates destinations and brings new purpose to places with untapped potential.” The Lawrence won the Small Redevelopment Project of the Year Award. The 120-room Hilton Tapestry boutique hotel opened earlier this year on East Crogan Street at Jackson Street, just off the Lawrenceville Square, after more than a decade of planning. In addition to providing people with a place in downtown Lawrenceville to stay when they visit the city, The Lawrence also has a street-level restaurant, Bellfire, and a bar, Old Nick’s, as well as 6,000-feet of conference and meeting room space.

City of Conyers continuing downtown redevelopment efforts

CONYERS — The city of Conyers is continuing efforts to assemble property for future downtown redevelopment, with officials considering buying another parcel along Loyd Street. During the Oct. 21 City Council work session, city officials discussed Resolution 782, which would authorize the purchase of about 0.17 acres at 1067 Loyd Street for $72,500. The proposed acquisition is part of a larger effort to bring several properties under city ownership to support future redevelopment and revitalization in the downtown area. City Manager Kameron Kelley told council members that the city is nearing completion of its property acquisition efforts, with only a limited number of parcels remaining to be purchased. According to Kelley, the city expects to acquire another property as it works toward completing the land assembly process. The purchase would give the city additional control over how the properties could be used or redeveloped in the future. Assembling multiple parcels under common ownership can allow local governments to pursue redevelopment opportunities that may be difficult to accomplish when properties are owned separately. The approach can also provide flexibility for planning improvements, attracting development proposals and coordinating future uses across a larger area. The discussion comes as Conyers continues efforts to
