The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sets policy, adopts the county budget, and oversees zoning and land-use decisions for one of Georgia’s largest and fastest-growing counties. This hub covers the board’s leadership and where to find Good Morning Gwinnett’s ongoing county-government coverage.

Major County Initiatives
The Board of Commissioners has been central to major economic development wins for the county, including the $2 billion UCB biopharmaceutical campus announced for the Rowen innovation district — see our coverage: Gwinnett County Just Made History. The board also recognizes county milestones and community leaders, such as our coverage of Donate Life Month in Gwinnett County.
