Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett County’s largest city and its highest-profile tech address — home to Curiosity Lab, the city-run “living laboratory” where autonomous shuttles, 5G infrastructure, and smart-city tech are tested on real public roads. This guide covers how the city is governed, what’s happening at Curiosity Lab, and where to find the latest Peachtree Corners news from Good Morning Gwinnett.
City Government: Mayor & City Council
Peachtree Corners uses a council-manager form of government: an elected Mayor and six City Council members (three district posts, three at-large posts) set policy, while an appointed city manager runs daily operations. Council members serve staggered four-year terms.
- Mike Mason — Mayor
- Six City Council posts: Posts 1-3 represent geographic districts; Posts 4-6 are elected at-large
For committee assignments, meeting schedules, and full council contact information, see the city’s Mayor & Council directory.
Curiosity Lab: The Tech Corridor Story
Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners is a 3-mile living laboratory where connected and autonomous vehicles, 5G, and smart infrastructure are deployed on real streets rather than closed test tracks. Recent developments include a partnership with May Mobility and T-Mobile to run autonomous shuttle service, a new Memorandum of Understanding with Japan’s Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) on robotics and AI research, and the December 2025 appointment of Emily Heintz as Curiosity Lab’s new Executive Director. This ongoing tech-corridor identity is central to how Peachtree Corners markets itself nationally as a smart-city model.

Beyond the tech-corridor headlines, Peachtree Corners is one of Gwinnett’s largest residential communities. Good Morning Gwinnett has covered local family resources including a new autism center opening in the city, and Peachtree Corners regularly features in our weekend events roundups.
