Lights! Camera! Atlanta! Dubbed the “Hollywood of the South,” Georgia has become a leading destination in the film world, and that includes the one and only Gwinnett County. Located approximately 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, you will find the best of both worlds — big city vibes mixed with quiet southern charm.

So let us welcome you to Gwinnett…where we live, work, and play together, and offer superior award-winning services, including dozens of parks, community centers, gyms, historic sites, pools, sport fields, trails, and so much more.
