The Lilburn Loop: June 23
Recap from the June 16 Town Hall
At last Monday’s Mayor’s Town Hall, residents shared ideas for enhancing the area surrounding the City’s gateway sign near the intersection of Lawrenceville Highway and Pleasant Hill Road. Their suggestions centered on ways to improve the appearance and visibility of this key entrance into Lilburn.
Save the Date for July's Town Hall
Mayor Crist hosts a Town Hall on the third Monday of every month—an open forum with no set agenda, where residents can bring questions, share concerns, and talk about the topics that matter most to them. For the July meeting, the Lilburn Police Department will be joining us to answer your questions and hear directly from the community. Come be part of the conversation!
Recap from the June 18 DDA Meeting
At last night’s Downtown Development Authority meeting, members voted to move forward with the purchase of a new domain name to support future marketing and outreach efforts.
