Town Center Livable Centers Initiative
If you want to make an impact in our community, joining a Steering Committee is a great way to do it (and this one sounds so cool)! The City of Norcross is preparing to update its Town Center Livable Centers Initiative and its Comprehensive Plan. All residents and business owners located within city limits are eligible to volunteer to participate! The city will select 10 individuals for the Steering Committee, which will help guide the process. If selected, you'll be required to attend up to 5 meetings over the course of 2023. Email communitydevelopment@norcrossga.net with your name and address to apply. *Applications are due by TODAY, December 2, 2022!*

The kid-friendly activity is located at 3135 Reps Miller Road in Norcross. There is a $5/person charge for those over 3 years old, with a maximum of $20 per family.
