GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — A vacant extended-stay hotel in Gwinnett County is set for a major transformation into affordable housing for vulnerable residents.

The Gwinnett Housing Corporation announced plans to renovate the former Spring Swallow Lodge on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, converting the property into more than 70 apartments. The project will serve seniors and young adults ages 18 to 24 who are aging out of the foster care system.

The housing corporation purchased the site earlier this year for $8.7 million and is now accepting bids for the redevelopment.

Construction is expected to begin next year.
