https://www.YouTube.com/@GoodMorningGeorgiaToday-On Tuesday, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved spending over $16 million to purchase two Macy’s properties—a department store, a furniture store—and 23 acres around the largely vacant Gwinnett Place Mall. The county plans to transform the area into a mixed-use development.
Macy's will lease back the buildings through early next year before closing, according to County Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson. The properties span more than 293,000 square feet. “This presents a significant opportunity for us,” Hendrickson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It provides us with greater flexibility in our redevelopment plans.”
