The recent Park
Place Activity Center Study completed by the Evermore CID, is
already producing tangible results! The study, completed earlier
this year, recommended the formation of a community association.
With the support of Evermore CID leadership and guidance from
Gwinnett County District Three Commissioner, Mike Beaudreau, the
recommendation to establish this community association is now a
reality.
The Park Place
Community Association (PPCA) will be comprised of homeowners,
business owners, clergy and those interested in working as a team
toward revitalizing and enhancing the Park Place Community. The
PPCA’s primary service boundaries include the Stone Mountain
portion of Gwinnett County east to Stone Drive and north to
Brownlee Road and south to DeShong Road.
The PPCA founding
Board of Directors has been appointed and is comprised of
individuals and business leaders that participated in the public
input process of the recently completed study. PPAC President,
Frances Smith, indicated that “Commissioner Beaudreau was
extremely persistent when recruiting her to lead the
organization”. Smith added that she is more encouraged than ever
now that Gwinnett County leadership has proven their commitment to
revitalizing the area.
The Park Place
Community Association (PPCA) will hold a public meeting on
Thursday, October 4th at the Mountain Park Aquatic Center for
7:00pm. The meeting will be the first opportunity for the
association to bring the community together for the purpose of
gathering information and sharing ideas.
The Evermore CID’s Executive Director, Brett Harrell, is extremely
pleased with the community initiative and expressed the CID’s
sincerest gratitude for their willingness to serve the community
in such a significant capacity. Executive Director Harrell states,
“together we can build a community team of leaders and make a
monumental difference for the future of our region of Gwinnett
County!”
To learn more
about the PPCA, please join the founding members for the public
meeting on October 4th and become involved with your community!
