Worshippers can hear messages from Bryant Wright, Crawford Loritts, and Parker Wyatt, with services beginning at 7 a.m. The park opens at 3 a.m., and the Summit Skyride starts at 4 a.m. The event includes sign language interpreters and family-friendly activities like Dino Fest afterward. Vehicle entry costs $20 for a day or $40 annually, while church vans and buses enter free. Walking the trail is free, and Skyride fees are $20 round-trip. STORY 2: Snellville preparing to break ground on Briscoe Park community center After two decades of planning, Snellville will break ground on a 34,000-square-foot community center at T.W. Briscoe Park on May 1, with construction starting May 5. Opening in summer 2026, the $11.3 million facility will feature basketball courts, an indoor walking track, multi-purpose rooms, an aerobics room, and an outdoor pavilion. Funded by special sales tax dollars, the project will enhance recreation and programming for the community. Construction impacts include the closure of outdoor basketball courts, re-routing of the fitness trail, and road closures within the park. New outdoor courts are planned for future development. STORY 3: Authorities seize an amount of fentanyl that could kill every Georgian twice Federal officials announced a major drug bust in Atlanta, seizing over 100 pounds of fentanyl—enough to kill 23 million people—and arresting 22 individuals linked to two Mexican cartels. However, cartel leaders Johnny and Jose Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga remain at large, with an $8 million reward for their capture. The operation uncovered a Gwinnett County money-wiring scheme, "smurfing," to send drug proceeds to Mexico. The DEA called it Atlanta's largest fentanyl seizure, valued at $1.5 million. The years-long investigation was aided by the cartels' designation as foreign terrorist organizations. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Greene defended Trump-era policies, denied Medicare cuts, and celebrated immigration crackdowns. She also promoted banning gender-affirming care for minors and praised Trump for pardoning Jan. 6 offenders. Outside, peaceful protests criticized Greene's actions. The event lasted an hour, with Greene addressing audience questions and reaffirming her commitment to the MAGA movement. STORY 5: Gwinnett moving closer to commuter bus service handover Gwinnett County is moving closer to transferring its Ride Gwinnett commuter bus routes to The ATL’s XPress service, consolidating routes between Gwinnett and Atlanta job centers. The transition, set for June 16, aims to save costs for riders and the county. Local bus, paratransit, and microtransit services will remain under county control. The move follows a 2023 study identifying inefficiencies in metro Atlanta commuter services. Public feedback led to adjustments in route times, and the county will finalize the agreement with The ATL in May. The change reflects efforts to streamline transit along the I-85 corridor.

The study, led by Professor ( "OH-meed VAY-seh") Omid Veiseh, aims to enhance immunotherapy by recruiting a broader, more durable T-cell response.

However, challenges like persistent inflation, high mortgage rates, and slow wage growth in low-wage sectors remain nationwide. Meek also predicts slight unemployment increases and limited Federal Reserve rate cuts. Despite this, U.S. manufacturing shows promise with fewer regulations and lower energy costs. Over 200 Gwinnett business leaders attended the event, aiming to leverage these insights for sustained growth.

Indi is about 3 feet tall, weighs 45 pounds, has black hair in two braids, and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, green shorts, and no shoes. Anyone with information is urged to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. STORY 2: Coolray Field has 11 new dishes on the menu for Gwinnett Stripers' 2025 season Coolray Field’s 2025 season brings an elevated dining experience with 11 new menu items crafted by Gwinnett Stripers Executive Chef Joi Miles.

We’ll be right back Break 2: MONSTER JAM STORY 4: Peachtree Corners closing off parts of Town Center for repairs and lawn maintenance Peachtree Corners' Town Center will undergo maintenance over the next few months, impacting access to some areas. Starting March 31, the Town Green lawn will close until May 9 to allow new grass to take root, reopening for the summer concert series on May 10. Parking deck repairs are also underway, with sections temporarily closed on a rolling basis until July. The deck will remain open, with directional signs ensuring safety and minimizing disruption. City officials appreciate residents' patience as they work to maintain the center's long-term functionality. STORY 5: Fox Theatre Offers High School Students A Chance To Learn About Working In The Performing Arts The Fox Theatre’s Fox Gives program is accepting applications for its 2025-2026 All-Access Pass, an immersive initiative for high school students interested in performing arts careers. Open to Georgia public and Title I schools within 50 miles of the Fox, the program offers hands-on learning, mentorship, live performance access, and career workshops. Schools with active arts programs can apply by May 9, with up to 30 students from three schools selected. Additionally, a $5,000 scholarship will be awarded to a standout student in the current program to support their arts education. Visit the Fox Theatre website for details. Break 3: MONSTER JAM STORY 6: Police: GSMST Student allegedly recorded girls in school bathroom at least 13 times A former Gwinnett School of Math Science and Technology student, Hongming Mo, 17, faces felony charges for allegedly recording female classmates in the bathroom at least 13 times since last October. Mo was arrested on Feb. 25 after being caught recording a student in a girls' restroom. GSMST Principal Logan Malm confirmed Mo is no longer a student at the school, and swift disciplinary and legal actions were taken. Released on a $5,000 bond, Mo is barred from returning to GSMST. The incident was reported by another student, highlighting the school’s “See Something, Say Something” safety culture. STORY 7: Lawrenceville annexation bill headed to governor's desk Lawrenceville is one step away from a May 2026 referendum on annexing 5.3 square miles, potentially adding 19,000 residents and becoming Gwinnett County's largest city. The Georgia Senate unanimously passed House Bill 739, awaiting Gov. Brian Kemp's signature. If approved, the annexation would balance the city's tax base, reducing tax-exempt properties from 40% to 21%. Residents in the annexed areas would see no net change in millage rates but would shift to city services. The expansion, effective January 2027, would require $9 million annually for additional services, offset by matching revenue.

The revised bill now focuses on allowing all board members, not just the chairperson, to speak to the media. Discussions about limiting "lame duck" board actions or superintendent contract extensions were deferred.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for March 22nd Publish Date: March 22nd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, March 22nd and Happy Birthday to William Shatner I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: 'Beyond heroic' — VALOR Awards Honor Gwinnett Public Safety Officials The Gwinnett Chamber hosted its 20th Annual VALOR Public Safety Awards, honoring first responders for their dedication to keeping Gwinnett County safe. Held at the Gas South District, the event gathered over 360 attendees, including business leaders and community members. President Nick Masino highlighted the vital role of public safety in fostering a thriving community. Awards recognized exceptional service, including Major Michelle Anglin for Leadership, Corporal Sean Donahue as Public Safety Person of the Year, and the Behavioral Health Unit as Public Safety Unit of the Year. The ceremony celebrated the heroism and commitment of Gwinnett's first responders. STORY 2: Tort reform bill squeaks through Georgia House The Georgia House narrowly passed Senate Bill 68, a GOP-backed tort reform measure, with a 91-82 vote. The bill, a priority for Gov. Brian Kemp, aims to curb excessive jury awards and stabilize liability insurance costs by introducing premises liability guidelines, allowing seat belt evidence in auto cases, and limiting medical damage claims to actual costs. Supporters argue it will benefit businesses, while opponents, including many Democrats, claim it reduces access to justice and unfairly impacts crime victims. The bill includes a carveout for sex trafficking victims but faces criticism for excluding other crime victims. It now returns to the Senate for review. STORY 3: Georgia Supreme Court takes up State Election Board rules changes Civil rights and voting rights groups urged the Georgia Supreme Court to uphold a lower-court ruling invalidating seven election law changes made by the Republican-controlled State Election Board (SEB) last fall. The changes included hand-counting ballots, delaying result certification for fraud inquiries, stricter absentee ballot requirements, and expanded poll watcher areas. A Fulton County judge previously ruled the SEB overstepped its authority, violating the separation of powers. However, state and Republican lawyers argued the SEB acted within its rights and that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to sue. The case centers on the balance of legislative and executive powers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Gwinnett Police Again Ask For Public's Help In Fatal Hit-and-Run Investigation The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking new information about a hit-and-run that killed 24-year-old Mecha Woodard on September 27, 2024. Woodard was struck while walking on the eastbound shoulder of State Route 316 near Breckenridge Blvd. The suspect vehicle, a Lexus RX350 or RX450 (2019-2022), sustained damage to the front passenger-side bumper and headlight. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact Gwinnett Police Detectives at 678-442-5653 or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or www.stopcrimeATL.com, with potential cash rewards for leads. STORY 5: Senate measure to trim state agency rules advances toward a vote by the House The Georgia House Budget and Fiscal Affairs Oversight Committee advanced Senate Bill 28, the "Red Tape Rollback Act," aimed at reducing outdated or burdensome state agency rules. Sponsored by Sen. Greg Dolezal, the bill requires agencies to review rules every four years and conduct impact analyses for proposed rules costing $3 million or more in compliance over five years. Republicans view it as a way to streamline bureaucracy, while Democrats argue it could burden agencies and taxpayers. Amendments raised the impact analysis threshold and required analyses to be posted online. The bill now heads to the House Rules Committee. Break 3: STORY 6: State Senate health committee approves IVF bill House Bill 428, which codifies the right to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Georgia, unanimously passed a Senate committee. Prompted by an Alabama ruling treating frozen embryos as children, the bill ensures IVF remains accessible in Georgia without introducing new regulations. Sponsor Rep. Lehman Franklin, who has personal experience with IVF, emphasized the bill simply formalizes current practices. Parents shared emotional testimonies about their IVF journeys, while some called for ethical regulations on embryo handling. The bill now heads to the Senate Rules Committee for a full Senate vote. STORY 7: Teen fatally shot during 'Senior Skip Day' at Denny Dobbs Park An 18-year-old Salem High School student, Justin Etienne, was fatally shot Wednesday at Denny Dobbs Park during an informal "Senior Skip Day" event involving students from Newton and Rockdale counties. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office described the incident as isolated, with no gang involvement or additional injuries. Grief counselors were made available at schools, and law enforcement increased patrols as a precaution. Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Both Newton and Rockdale school systems expressed condolences and emphasized the event was not school-sanctioned. The investigation is ongoing.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: GGC expert offers recession insights and strategies Dr. Philip Vinson, economics professor at Georgia Gwinnett College, explains that recessions are triggered by unique, unpredictable factors like tariffs, political instability, or technological disruptions, rather than predictable cycles. He highlights current risks, including global instability and a potential AI bubble burst, which could lead to declining sales, layoffs, and rising unemployment. Inflation complicates Federal Reserve responses, as lowering interest rates could worsen it. Vinson advises individuals to prepare by building savings for potential unemployment and avoiding panic stock sales, suggesting downturns can offer long-term investment opportunities. STORY 2: Gwinnett prisoner convicted of selling fentanyl to fellow inmates, who overdosed on the drugs Harry Fomby, 54, was convicted of murder and drug charges for smuggling fentanyl into the Gwinnett County Correctional Complex, leading to the overdose deaths of inmates Corey Bryant, 22, and Ian Longshore, 36, in September 2021. Evidence included surveillance footage, X-ray scans, and recorded phone calls linking Fomby to the drug distribution. He received two life sentences. District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson emphasized the dangers of fentanyl and the need for prevention efforts, mourning the loss of two lives that could have been turned around. STORY 3: More than 5,000 enjoy annual Suwanee Beer Fest The 14th annual Suwanee Beer Fest brought 5,000 attendees to Town Center Park on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, featuring 400 craft beers from 107 breweries. Ranked the No. 1 beer festival by USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards, the event included live music, costume contests, and interactive activities like axe throwing and inflatable beer pong. Attendees voted for their favorite brews, with StillFire Brewing’s Black Mask Imperial Stout winning Best Beer in Georgia.

The brothers, who had gunshot wounds, were initially ruled a murder-suicide by the GBI, though their family disputes this claim. Kerlin was fired following his arrest. Autopsies are complete, but the final cause of death awaits further forensic tests. The twins’ family is calling for deeper investigation, believing the deaths were not self-inflicted. STORY 5: YMCA of Metro Atlanta Opens Registration for 2025 Summer Day Camps The YMCA of Metro Atlanta has opened registration for its 2025 summer day camps, offering children ages 5-15 a chance to build confidence, develop character, and stay active. Camps, available at 18 locations, include traditional activities like games and outdoor exploration, as well as specialty options like cooking, basketball, drama, and STEAM. Programs run Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with extended care options. YMCA President Lauren Koontz emphasized the camps' focus on fostering friendships, curiosity, and personal growth.

The 287(g) program, authorized in 1996, allows ICE to delegate federal immigration enforcement authority to state and local officers.

Today is Saturday, February 22nd and Happy Birthday to Sparky Anderson. ***02.22.25 - BIRTHDAY – SPARKY ANDERSON*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Hudgens Center Hosting Pair of Exhibits Through April The Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Duluth is hosting two exhibitions through April. The 10th annual “Stand in Ansel Adams’ Footsteps” juried competition, featuring 133 black-and-white nature photos, runs until April 26, celebrating the iconic landscape photographer. “Pause, Reflect, Prepare,” showcasing figurative sculptures by Decatur artist Jess Self, continues through April 19. Self’s work incorporates materials like wax, wool, and wood, reflecting her expertise in sculpture. Both exhibits highlight the center’s mission to connect art lovers and learners. Visit the Hudgens Center on Sugarloaf Parkway for more details. STORY 2: Senate confirms Loeffler to run U.S. Small Business Administration Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., has been confirmed as director of the federal Small Business Administration in a 52-46 Senate vote. Loeffler, previously appointed to the Senate in 2020 by Gov. Brian Kemp, lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021. A former CEO and co-owner of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, she is married to Jeff Sprecher, CEO of Intercontinental Exchange. A Trump loyalist, Loeffler supported efforts to challenge Georgia’s 2020 election results. She also founded Greater Georgia to boost GOP voter registration. Loeffler joins other Georgians in key federal roles under Trump’s second term. STORY 3: Duracell R&D headquarters coming to Atlanta Duracell will establish its Global Research and Development Headquarters in Atlanta, investing $56 million and creating 110 jobs. The facility will be located near Georgia Tech’s Midtown campus at Science Square, a hub for innovation. Duracell, which already operates facilities in LaGrange and Fairburn, aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in battery technology. Gov.

We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: UPDATE: Argument Leads To Deadly Shooting At Lawrenceville Area McDonald's A workplace dispute turned deadly Wednesday in the parking lot of a Lawrenceville McDonald’s, leaving 43-year-old Donald Stewart dead and his boss, 40-year-old Michael Todd, in custody. Gwinnett police reported the incident occurred on Sugarloaf Parkway just before noon. Stewart was shot in the back and later died at a hospital. Todd remained at the scene and was arrested, facing charges including malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault. The argument between the co-workers escalated into the fatal shooting. STORY 5: House panel approves easing burden of proof of intellectual disability in capital cases A Georgia House committee advanced House Bill 123, which aims to ease the process for death penalty defendants to claim intellectual disability as a defense. The bill would lower the burden of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence” and separate the determination of intellectual disability from the trial’s guilt phase. Advocates argue this reduces the risk of executing individuals with intellectual disabilities, aligning Georgia with other states. Critics, including a district attorney, warn it could complicate seeking the death penalty. The bill now moves to the House Rules Committee for a floor vote. Break 3: GCPS STORY 6: Officials Release Sketch To Help Identify Missing Remains Found In Gwinnett County Lawrenceville Police released a sketch to identify human remains found near Georgia Highway 316 and Duluth Highway on Feb. 10. Construction workers discovered a human skull near Northside Gwinnett Hospital, but no other remains were located. Forensic experts determined the skull belonged to a Caucasian man aged 35 to 70. A sketch by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation artist depicts what the man may have looked like. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Lawrenceville Police Department or Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office. STORY 7: State Senate passes farmland preservation constitutional change The Georgia Senate approved a constitutional amendment to double the farmland eligible for conservation tax breaks from 2,000 to 4,000 acres, passing 51-1. The measure, part of efforts to preserve farmland amid significant losses over 50 years, will go to voters in a 2026 referendum. If approved, it would take effect in 2027. The Senate also passed an accompanying bill to set the referendum date. Supporters, like Sen. Sam Watson, highlighted the need to adapt the Conservation Use Valuation Assessment (CUVA) program to modern farming trends with larger family farms. The legislation now heads to the Georgia House.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 20th Publish Date: February 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, February 20th and Happy birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett government opts out of statewide homestead exemption Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously opted out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption tied to inflation, arguing their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) offers better savings. The VOE freezes taxable property values at the level when a homeowner first claimed the exemption, unlike the statewide version, which adjusts annually for inflation. County officials highlighted that the VOE has kept county taxes stable despite rising property values. The school system, which accounts for two-thirds of property tax bills, will hold hearings Thursday to decide whether to opt out as well. Residents can attend at 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. in Suwanee. STORY 2: Investigators seize 23 kilograms of meth during raids in Gwinnett Six people, including a mother and daughter, were arrested during raids on two methamphetamine operations in Gwinnett County on Feb. 12. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Gwinnett Metro Task Force and FBI Atlanta, seized 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and over $6,000 in cash from locations in Lilburn and Norcross. Charges ranged from trafficking methamphetamine to possession and obstruction of law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office praised the collaborative efforts to enhance community safety. STORY 3: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $80K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $99,890 in grants, with $80,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Hebron Community Health Center and Hope Clinic for medical and mental health services, The Salvation Army for housing assistance, and Home Repairs Ministries for critical home repairs. Other grants supported virtual healthcare access, therapy for abuse survivors, and literacy promotion. Funded by the Operation Round Up program, which rounds members' electric bills to the nearest dollar, the initiative has provided over $21.5 million in community grants since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in Jackson EMC’s 10-county service area. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: RINGLING BROS_FINAL STORY 4: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-legal parents to seek custody or visitation if they’ve had a parental role and bond with a child. In the case of *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply since Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s impact on parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 5: Gwinnett Technical College Names New Vice President of Economic Development Gwinnett Technical College has named Lauren Dodson as its new Vice President of Economic Development. With over 15 years of experience in sciences and education, Dodson will oversee economic development, customized training, Quick Start, and continuing education services to address workforce needs. Her background includes roles at Partnership Gwinnett, Georgia EMC, and the Technology Association of Georgia, as well as teaching science in Gwinnett County Public Schools. Gwinnett Tech President Dr. D. Glen Cannon praised her contributions to the community and technology sector, calling her a perfect fit for the role. Dodson holds advanced degrees in education and lives in Tucker with her family.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for February 18th Publish Date: February 18th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, February 18th and Happy Birthday to John Travolta ***02.18.25 - BIRTHDAY – JOHN TRAVOLTA*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Mulberry looking to annex commercial properties on city's outskirts Mulberry, Gwinnett County's newest city, is pursuing legislation to annex over 100 mostly commercial land parcels, aiming for zoning control over key corridors like Hamilton Mill and Braselton Highway. Unlike Lawrenceville's residential-focused annexation plan, Mulberry's proposal, led by Mayor Michael Coker and State Sen. Clint Dixon, targets commercial centers like the Walmart at Hamilton Mill and Sardis Church Roads. The annexation, outlined in Senate Bill 139, won’t significantly impact Mulberry’s population and doesn’t require a referendum, focusing instead on managing future development and zoning. STORY 2: Andrew Young reflects on lessons from a life of service and partnerships Andrew Young, at 92, continues to inspire as a Civil Rights leader, former Atlanta mayor, and U.N. ambassador. His life and Atlanta’s growth are celebrated in an exhibit at the Lawrenceville Arts Center through March 31. During a fireside chat, Young shared stories of regional cooperation, advice from his father—“Don’t get mad, get smart”—and his resilience during a 1964 Civil Rights march attack. Reflecting on today’s polarized politics, he emphasized patience, collaboration, and focusing on helping others as keys to progress and democracy. STORY 3: Georgia Attorney General under fire over lawsuit targeting federal disability protections statute Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr faces criticism from lawmakers and disability advocates over a lawsuit targeting Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination. Carr’s office claims the lawsuit only challenges a Biden-era rule adding "gender dysphoria" as a protected disability, but critics argue it seeks to declare Section 504 unconstitutional, jeopardizing broader protections. Families fear this could lead to attacks on other laws like IDEA, which supports students with disabilities. Advocates stress the importance of accommodations for education and independence, urging Carr to withdraw from the lawsuit to protect these vital protections.

Despite struggles, the brewery has thrived in event hosting and community support, celebrating its 5th anniversary and securing a new distributor. Co-owner Wayne Baxter remains optimistic, citing recent successes and plans to expand into distilled spirits once equipment is repaired. Alongside fundraising, Baxter is seeking new investors to help cover back debt and ensure the brewery’s future. STORY 5: Gwinnett's Overstory Rooftop Bar To Host Exclusive Código Tequila Dinner Overstory Rooftop Bar at the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett will host a special four-course dinner paired with Código 1530 Tequila on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 6 p.m. The event features Amazonian-inspired dishes like Fosforera seafood soup, Chica Morada Short Ribs, and Chocolate Dreams Cake, designed to complement the tequila’s flavors.

Campos, 16 and seven months pregnant, was allegedly strangled by Monroy, resulting in her and her unborn child's deaths. The Gwinnett County DA's Office uncovered new evidence leading to these additional charges. Monroy, initially released on bond, was re-arrested following a grand jury indictment. STORY 2: Gwinnett expanding Dacula Park Activity Building Gwinnett County has begun a $12.8 million expansion of the Dacula Park Activity Building, transforming it into a 34,000-square-foot community recreation center. The project, funded by local sales tax and a community development grant, will add a gym with a walking track, art and dance studios, a senior wing, classrooms, and more. The facility will also feature outdoor amenities, expanded parking, and spaces for various sports.

Photos from the event showed students eagerly lining up to pet Maverick, making him the clear favorite among the kids. Break 3: STORY 6: Georgia Senate targets local governments over immigration enforcement The Georgia Senate passed Senate Bill 21, which removes legal immunity for local governments, officials, and employees who violate state laws requiring cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill, aimed at countering "sanctuary city" policies, allows lawsuits against those refusing to comply with federal immigration requests. While Republicans argue it strengthens existing laws, Democrats criticized it as unnecessary, noting no local government has violated the law. Concerns were raised about potential lawsuits against teachers and increased costs for local law enforcement. The bill now heads to the Georgia House of Representatives for consideration.

Gwinnett County officials plan to opt out of a new statewide floating homestead exemption, favoring their existing Value Offset Exemption (VOE) for better tax breaks. The VOE, in place since 2001, freezes property tax values at the base year, protecting homeowners from rising market values. The county's decision follows other local governments opting out, with public hearings scheduled before the March 1 deadline. The county's property tax is separate from school and city taxes, which often increase with market values. The VOE has saved homeowners significant amounts, as illustrated by examples from Suwanee and Auburn. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.
