The Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District recently announced planning firm Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) has been selected to lead the revitalization strategy at the Gwinnett Place Mall site as part of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s $275,000 Livable Centers Initiative grant awarded earlier this year.

VHB specializes in transportation planning and engineering, land development, planning and design, and environmental services. For the Gwinnett Place Mall revitalization project, VHB is partnering with Atlas Technical Consultants, LLC; Perez Planning + Design, LLC; Purpose Possible, LLC; Retail Development Strategies, LLC; Van Meter Williams Pollack, LLP and the Center for Pan Asian Community Services.

“The Gwinnett Place Mall site revitalization strategy is not just a visioning exercise or traditional Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study,” said GPCID Executive Director Joe Allen. “It’s about refining an existing vision for a flourishing, internationally diverse, livable urban community and mapping out a reality-based guide for its implementation founded on local community input and direction combined with national, proven experience.”
