Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”

Highway 316 will be a construction site in Gwinnett for five more years

Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry had a simple suggestion this week for drivers who use State Route 316 to go to Athens: find a different route for the next few years. GDOT has been gradually turning 316 into a limited access highway for more than a decade, but those efforts are kicking into overdrive now with projects stretching from Lawrenceville to Athens either already under construction or about to get underway in the next few years. The highway is expected to be a construction site in Gwinnett for at least five more years. “Alright so we recommend you go up (Interstate) 85 and take (U.S. Highway) 129 because there’s a little bit of construction going on,” McMurry said during a recent presentation to the Gwinnett Chamber. Chamber members may have laughed at McMurry’s advice, but it may actually be a good to head up 85 to Jefferson and then come south to Athens because 316 will be a big construction zone, at least in Gwinnett, through the beginning of the next decade. Currently, 316 is a limited access highway from Interstate 85 to Buford Drive, as well as at Harbins Road and the eastern terminus of Sugarloaf Parkway.

Rainbow Village receives $1.1 million federal grant to expand housing and services for homeless families

Rainbow Village is receiving a $1.1 million federal investment to help expand housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness, marking a significant milestone in the nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to address housing instability across Metro Atlanta. Approximately two years into its Building Homes, Building Hope Capital Campaign, the organization was awarded the funding through the Congressionally Directed Community Project Funding (CPF) process, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding was secured through the efforts of Senator Raphael Warnock. The investment comes as Rainbow Village prepares for one of the most transformative expansions in its 35-year history. Plans call for the construction of 36 additional apartments on its campus, increasing its residential capacity from 30 to 66 families. Beyond expanding its housing options, the federal funding will help strengthen the organization’s programs, services and infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of families it serves. “Too many Georgia families are struggling to keep up with rising housing costs, making the need for affordable housing increasingly urgent,” Warnock said. “I’m glad this federal funding is going towards Rainbow Village Inc. to support the construction of transitional housing for Georgians experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County. Affordable housing provides
