Gwinnett County officials recently broke ground on the expansion of OneStop Centerville.
The 33,000 square feet multilevel development combines the Centerville Senior Center and Centerville Branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library.
Gwinnett County is using a $25 million allocation of federal American Rescue Plan Act funding for the expansion, along with its initial operations.
The community resource center will also offer a variety of community spaces for events, workshops, classes and other activities for residents.
Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson spoke on the impact the facility will have on Centerville residents and the surrounding communities.
“With this expansion, we will enhance coordination and accessibility to community-based resources, as well as resources from local, state and federal governments,” Hendrickson said . “Our goal is to ensure our residents receive timely assistance without unnecessary hurdles.”
Partner organizations GNR Health, View Point Health and Ninth District Head Start will also be housed there and will provide programs on public health, early learning, mental health and family services.
“Each of these partners plays a vital role in fostering the well-being of individuals and building a healthy community,” District 2 Commissioner Ben Ku said. “Gwinnett County is committed to the ongoing development of quality services, programming and resource support throughout the county.”
