1. Two affordable rental housing projects will be constructed in nearby Norcross. The housing projects being developed by Walton Communities and Blue Ridge Atlantic Development are among 28 projects receiving state tax credits.

2. A Gwinnett County facility which provides care for adults with dementia may soon have to close its doors. Since 2019, Peachtree Christian Health in nearby Duluth has been an adult day health center. It's one of the few places caregivers can bring adults with dementia to socialize and experience a sense of community. The organization is attempting to reach its goal of $500,000 to keep the facility going or it will be forced to close due to a lack of funds. (WSB Radio)
