Buford Seeks New County Seat Amid Organizing Clamor
In Buford Georgia on February 1 a mass meeting spurred quick, quiet moves to form a proposed new Gwinnett county with Buford as seat. Committees gather data while urging the public and legislators to withhold judgments until full claims are presented. Sugar Hill in Gwinnett has about 700 votes and 1,000 taxpayers, promising sizable population for the new county. The proposed name Hill echoes local legacy and statesman Benjamin H Hill, but convenience guides choice as organizers push for the county’s practical benefits.
