UPDATE: Gwinnett County is urgently seeking community input for the restoration of the historic Maguire-Livsey Family Big House, with public meetings kicking off this evening. This initiative aims to preserve the building’s rich history while actively involving residents in shaping its future.
The first public meeting takes place at Anderson-Livsey Elementary School tonight, and a second session is slated for tomorrow evening. Additionally, a virtual meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2023. This series will culminate in an open house on November 8, 2023, held directly at the Maguire-Livsey Family Big House.
Community feedback gathered during these sessions is critical, as it will directly influence the restoration project’s direction. Residents are encouraged to attend either the in-person meetings or the virtual session to voice their opinions and ideas.
Officials emphasize the importance of local input in preserving the historical significance of the Big House. “We want to ensure that this restoration reflects the community’s wishes,” stated a representative from Gwinnett County.
For those interested in participating, registration for the virtual meeting and attendance details for the November open house are available on the Gwinnett County government’s website. Engaging in this project offers residents a unique opportunity to connect with their local heritage and contribute to an important cultural landmark.
Next Steps: Keep an eye on upcoming meetings and be prepared to share your thoughts on how the Maguire-Livsey Family Big House should be preserved for future generations. Your voice matters in this urgent initiative!
