Ground breaking on Main Street project set for spring of 2012, completion fall of 2013
Lilburn was named near the turn of the 20th century, the themed period of its upcoming rebirth. Well into design of its new downtown city hall and library along revamped Main Street immediately east of Highway 29, that turn-of-the-century plan remains one City Manager Bill Johnsa hopes rejuvenates a Gwinnett County city first settled in the early 1800s.

Local shop to close Saturday after five years in business, but Dunwoody location will remain open.
Known for its one-of-a-kind party favors, baby shower gifts and college memorabilia, The Enchanted Forest had become a necessary stop for visitors to Old Town Lilburn. Now, after five years in business it is closing its doors. “When the Blue Rooster closed, 40 percent of our profits decreased, because we weren’t getting the traffic we needed,” said owner Kay Underwood. Underwood is referring to the closing of the Blue Rooster restaurant just after Christmas. The popular restaurant had become a hub of activity for the area, where members of the community would host everything from simple luncheons to baby showers at the location. The foreclosed Blue Rooster property sits vacant, but there has been interest in it, according to city leaders. …

It may seem that little is being done by city leaders to focus on Main St. The truth is that leaders actually began planning for redevelopment back in 2002 when they gathered community input that resulted in theTown Center Plan. That plan resulted in a new mixed use zoning project that (prior to the downturn) had great promise for redeveloping downtown. Another part of that plan was putting power… more ›
