The Lilburn CID continues to see strong momentum across the community through infrastructure improvements, regional partnerships and collaborative planning efforts.

As we head into summer, we look forward to our upcoming Board Meeting and Caucus of Electors on June 10 at Lilburn City Hall. During the meeting, Arturo Adonay will stand for re-election, while David Freeman will conclude his term, opening the opportunity for a new property owner to join the CID board. We encourage stakeholders to attend and take part in this important meeting.

Construction also continues moving steadily at The Porchline development and Old Town parking deck. Landscaping and hardscaping are underway at the deck, while work progresses across multiple Porchline buildings. These projects represent exciting investments in the future of Old Town Lilburn, and we appreciate the community’s continued support as progress continues.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work to build a stronger, safer and more connected Lilburn.

Executive Director

Lilburn CID will host the next board meeting and Caucus of Electors on June 10 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at Lilburn City Hall, located at 340 Main St NW.

During this meeting, Arturo Adonay will stand for re-election to continue serving on the board, while David Freeman will conclude his term, opening the opportunity for a new property owner to join the CID board. The Caucus of Electors provides eligible stakeholders an opportunity to participate in the election process and stay engaged with the CID’s ongoing work.

We encourage members and community stakeholders to attend and take part in this important meeting.

At Lilburn CID, we value opportunities that connect education with real-world community planning, and our partnership with Kennesaw State University did just that.

Executive Director Tad Leithead recently served on the final jury panel for a Kennesaw State University Urban Studio project through the College of Architecture and Construction Management focused on Old Town Lilburn. Students presented innovative concepts shaped by on-site exploration and a deeper understanding of the community, showcasing thoughtful design, creativity and a strong appreciation for the City of Lilburn’s character and future growth.

In addition to presenting at the final jury review, two student teams earned top recognition in the class: Alex and Jessie, and Jose and Juan. Both teams advanced to compete against seven Urban Studio programs, with two teams representing each studio for a total of 14 teams. 

Alex and Jessie received an honorable mention for their presentation. Congratulations to all the students for their outstanding work and creative vision!

We appreciate Kennesaw State University and Professor Kevin Dougherty for including Lilburn CID in this collaborative experience. Engaging with emerging talent and fresh perspectives is an important part of building stronger, more forward-thinking communities.

Collaboration continues to be one of the driving forces behind meaningful progress across Gwinnett County and that spirit was on full display at a recent Rotary Club of Gwinnett panel featuring executive directors from the county’s Community Improvement Districts.

Lilburn CID Executive Director Tad Leithead joined fellow CID leaders for a thoughtful conversation focused on the shared priorities, partnerships and long-term investments shaping communities across Gwinnett. From infrastructure and connectivity to economic development and quality of life, the discussion highlighted how collaboration between districts continues to create lasting impact throughout the region.

We’re grateful to Rotary Club of Gwinnett for bringing together leaders committed to strengthening Gwinnett County and fostering conversations that help move our communities forward.

Strong partnerships are at the heart of meaningful community progress. In the latest Tad Talks blog, Tad highlights how ongoing collaboration between the Lilburn CID and the City of Lilburn continues to turn shared goals into impactful improvements for residents, businesses and visitors alike.

From aligning resources to advancing major infrastructure projects, this partnership allows both organizations to extend their impact. A standout example is the Bryson Park/Hood Road roundabout, a $4.3 million project that is already improving safety, reducing congestion and enhancing connectivity for residents and visitors.

Featuring insights from Mayor Johnny Crist and CID Chairman Jim Vaught, the blog highlights how strong leadership and coordinated investment continue to shape Lilburn’s growth.

Work continues to make steady progress on The Porchline development and the Old Town parking deck, with visible advancements across both projects.

At the parking deck, crews are actively installing landscaping and hardscaping, bringing the project closer to its final vision and enhancing the surrounding environment. Meanwhile, construction at The Porchline is moving forward across multiple buildings, with steady progress on both interior finishes and exterior details.

Together, these projects represent an important step in improving connectivity and supporting Lilburn’s continued growth. We appreciate your patience as this transformative work moves toward completion.
