Gwinnett County Urges Residents to Shape Historic Big House Restoration

UPDATE: Gwinnett County has launched an urgent initiative to restore the historic Maguire-Livsey Family Big House and is calling on residents to contribute their insights. This project aims to preserve the building’s rich history while ensuring community voices are heard in the restoration process.

The first public meeting took place earlier today at Anderson-Livsey Elementary School, with another session scheduled for tomorrow evening at the same location. Additionally, a crucial virtual meeting is set for Tuesday, allowing broader participation from the community. The series will culminate with an open house on November 8, hosted at the iconic Maguire-Livsey Family Big House itself.

Residents are encouraged to provide feedback during these meetings, which will play a pivotal role in shaping the project. Local officials stress the importance of community involvement, stating that the restoration is not just about preserving a building but also about honoring the heritage and stories of the area.

For those who wish to join the virtual meeting or attend the November session, registration details can be found on the Gwinnett County government’s website. This is a unique opportunity for residents to influence how this landmark will be restored for future generations.

With the clock ticking on the restoration plans, community members are urged to participate actively. Your voice matters in this significant effort to keep Gwinnett’s history alive. Don’t miss your chance to make an impact!
