Is D.C. area the model for Gwinnett?
As Gwinnett County moves closer to 1 million residents, we should be keeping an eye on two counties in the Washington, D.C., area that either already have been there or soon will be, says Gwinnett's chief planner. Steve Logan, director of the county's Planning Division, says there are lessons to be learned from the successes and failures of Fairfax County, Va., which reached the 1 million population mark nearly three years ago, and Montgomery County, Md., which should get to 1 million within the next several years. Reporter Dave Williams spent two days in the counties last month, talking to planners, business leaders and transportation officials.
