At a recent Board of Commissioners meeting, Gwinnett County received a plaque for achieving gold status as a BioReady® community from Georgia Bio, the state’s leading life sciences membership organization.

The BioReady® program rates communities in three tiers: Bronze, Silver and Gold. These ratings assess a municipality’s readiness to host biotechnology facilities based on zoning practices and infrastructure capacity, helping real estate developers and biotechnology companies find the most favorable destinations to locate.

Gwinnett is committed to fostering the biotech sector and aims to remain an ideal hub for life sciences research and development.
