SUWANEE TALK!: Suwanee GA - The Gateway!

When Money Magazine rated Suwanee, GA as the #10 best place to live in the United States, they had one objection. For those of us who live in Suwanee, you won't have any problem guessing what the one objection was...You got it! It is the commercial district along I-85.

But the city officials of Suwanee were already making plans to give this particular area a desperately needed face lift. As the project evolves, thanks to the continuing support of Suwanee residents, this area will exhibit a dynamic multi-purpose commercial development; thus, providing our city with a distinct gateway to the place we are all proud to call home...Suwanee!!

The city is prepared to put millions of dollars into this area. The money will be acquired as a result of the citizens saying, "YES" to the continued improvement of our city. As a Realtor, we are told, "Location, location, location!!" And, thanks to the tax allocation, we have "LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!" This will help the city in its continued growth. And, as a result, homeowners can feel secure that, where the city is concerned, they are doing all they can to create the live, work and play environment we all take pride in.

The Suwanee Gateway plan will include the following:

• Improvement of transportation infrastructure
• Improvement to the streetscape making it more viable for pedestrians
• New office/commercial sites
• Infrastructure improvments
• Co-op branding and marketing
• Discontinuation of areas that no longer serve the community
• 148 acre site with 350,000 sq ft of retail/restaurant space
• 580,000 sq ft of office space and full service hotel
• 700 residential units

You will see the first buidling completed by the end of this year.
