(Lawrenceville, Ga., Jan. 7, 2025) – The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a $2.67 billion budget to fund County operations and projects for the year.

The approved budget consists of a $2.11 billion operating budget and a $555 million capital improvements budget, which includes funds from the County’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program.

The adopted budget allows Gwinnett County Government to address local needs such as public safety, community health and high-quality infrastructure while balancing increasing costs of labor, materials and services facing the County and residents alike.

The budget also includes the approval of organizational changes, including the creation of the Parks and Recreation Department, which was previously part of the Department of Community Services.
