Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson walked through a literal doorway on the stage at 12Stone Church in Buford on Thursday morning and told more than 1,000 community leaders that more work needs to be done to ensure the figurative “doorway to opportunity” remains opens for all Gwinnettians.
Hendrickson used her State of the County Address to highlight some of the county’s accomplishments and efforts to create opportunities for residents over the last year.
