Construction underway on Town Center expansion in Suwanee

SUWANEE, Ga. — Construction is underway on the new expansion of Town Center in Suwanee.

Crews have been working on a 25-acre site behind the public library at the corner of Suwanee Dam Road and Main Street.

The project plans to connect to the existing Town Center with a pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks.

Another 15 acres will remain wooded with access to the Brushy Creek Greenway.

City leaders say the new site will open up about 10 acres for an urban-style greenspace.

The Suwanee City Council unanimously approved a master plan for a future city park in 2016.
