Gwinnett County Urges Community to Shape Big House Restoration

URGENT UPDATE: Gwinnett County officials have just announced a crucial initiative to restore the historic Maguire-Livsey Family Big House, and they are calling on residents to participate in shaping the project. This community-driven effort aims to preserve the rich history of the site and gather vital input from local citizens on how the restoration should proceed.

The first public meeting took place earlier today at Anderson-Livsey Elementary School, with an additional session scheduled for tomorrow evening at the same location. A virtual meeting is also set for Tuesday, November 7, 2023, ensuring that everyone has a chance to contribute their thoughts. The series will culminate in an open house on November 8, 2023, hosted at the Maguire-Livsey Family Big House itself.

Feedback from these sessions will be instrumental in guiding the direction of the restoration project, which aims to honor the building’s historical significance while making it accessible for future generations. Residents are encouraged to register for the virtual meeting or attend the November session in person to ensure their voices are heard.
