The firm also gave the county a thumbs up on its compliance with federal Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, Highway Planning and Construction Grant and Federal Transit Cluster Grant programs. “Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audit procedures and we did issue an unmodified, clean opinion,” Lipson said. “That’s the opinion of course that you want to get. We did feel the financial statements represented fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.” But, the under spending and lower than projected revenues were one of the key bits of

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. Meanwhile, Crest Pointe
