Gwinnett Co. Owners Establish Self-Taxing Zone

ATLANTA-In the first action of its kind in Gwinnett County, landowners and business proprietors have formed a Community Improvement District to tax themselves and generate anticipated annual taxes of $600,000.

The money would be used to upgrade intersections, landscape designated roads and commission transportation studies, according to Emory Morsberger, president of the Highway 78 Corridor Improvement Association. The association emphasizes clean-looking entrance roads to commercial, industrial and residential developments spell sales, a commodity landowners and business owners plan to increase with their newly formed district.
