SNELLVILLE: The Mayor and City Council unanimously approved the Hwy 78 Overlay District within the corporate limits of Snellville at their March 22 Public Hearing. The overlay district will improve architectural design and materials, regulate signage and parking, and improve landscape standards among other requirements.

Hwy 78 Community Improvement District Chairman Kenny King said, “The CID has advocated for passage of the overlay district along the 78 corridor for well over a year. With the recent support of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and now the Mayor and Council, the entire 7-mile corridor from the DeKalb County line through the City of Snellville will benefit from improved development standards.”
