GGC student defeats incumbent in county commission race

Ben Culberson is set to earn his bachelor's degree from Georgia Gwinnett College in about six months, but he'll take a seat on the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners before he walks across the graduation stage. Culberson, who is 22 and in his final year at Georgia Gwinnett College, defeated Commissioner Matthew Holtkamp in the Commission District 4 race on Tuesday. His victory flips the lone GOP-held seat on the county commission back to Democrat hands four years after Holtkamp flipped it to the Republican column. "I've spent every day talking with residents, small business owners, families and community leaders across North Gwinnett. I heard concerns that ranged from a single street in a single neighborhood to the challenges facing families across the country," Culberson said in a statement. "Through it all, people shared the same hope: a county government that works for everyone. "(Tuesday), voters chose new leadership. Together, we flipped a seat on the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and I'm humbled to be elected the youngest county commissioner in Georgia's history." Culberson's victory means that, in January, the Gwinnett County commission will consist entirely of Democrats for the first time since 2022. On Tuesday, Culberson received 55.3%

Georgia 400 Flex Lane Near Windward Will Close for Good Dec. 13

The permanent closure covers approximately three-quarters of a mile, from just south of the Webb Bridge Road overpass to Exit 11 at Windward Parkway. Weather permitting, contractors will remove the flex-lane signs and striping and install a temporary concrete barrier as construction advances on the Georgia 400 express-lanes project.

Gwinnett expenditures, revenues were less than projected in 2025

Gwinnett County spent $43.5 million less than it planned to spend in 2025, but it also brought in less in tax revenues than it planned, according to an audit. Fortunately for county officials, the decrease in tax revenues was only $18 million less than projected. “Projected revenues (were) based on estimated property values,” Mauldin and Jenkins’ Meredith Lipson said. “The final property values were lower than what was used when you were formulating the budget.” Mauldin and Jenkins, the firm that conducted the audit, gave Gwinnett County government a positive, clean bill of financial health during a 2025 audit presentation to county commissioners on Tuesday. 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
