Community Improvement Districts (CID) are some of the most powerful and effective public-private partnerships in existence today. The model has been implemented around the country to spur investment and revitalization in communities.
The Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District, the largest in the state of Georgia, is a public-private partnership funded by commercial property owners in the 14 square mile area spanning the I-85 corridor in southwest Gwinnett County. The CID, formed in 2006, represents more than 550 commercial owners, accounting for over $1 Billion in commercial property value. Within the CID, 5,000 businesses employ more than 60,000 workers, making it one of metro Atlanta’s major employment centers.
The Gwinnett Village team works to increase commercial values, promote economic development and enhance the quality of life for those that live work and/or play in The Village.
