The Lawrenceville City Council is set to meet tomorrow to review a resolution regarding the expansion of the city's boundaries. The proposed annexation could add approximately 19,000 new residents and 5,700 parcels of land to the city, aiming to streamline services and strengthen the city's identity, according to a release from the City of Lawrenceville.

The resolution is part of a broader strategy to align the city's boundaries and improve community services. The city plans to include the annexation on the ballot for a public vote in May 2026, in collaboration with Gwinnett County and state officials. Mayor David Still highlighted the partnership as essential for the city's future growth.

The annexation aims to improve emergency services, recreation, and education for the expanded community. Informative campaigns will be launched later this year to prepare the public for the vote. Details on the proposal and public outreach are available on the City of Lawrenceville's website.

Key aspects of the annexation include economic benefits, such as reducing tax-exempt properties from 40% to 21%, which would increase the city's tax base. The annexation would also bring notable educational institutions, like the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology, within the city limits. Mayor Still called the annexation a significant moment for Lawrenceville, noting the collaborative effort behind the proposal. If approved, the annexation could be completed by January 2027.
