The legacy of accessible and affordable healthcare continues to grow in DeKalb County. I had the privilege of witnessing the grand opening of a state-of-the-art medical facility in South DeKalb—another milestone in a journey that began many years ago. When the Grady clinic at the Rainbow Plaza Kroger closed, I made it my mission to ensure that South DeKalb would never be without quality healthcare options. That commitment led to the successful fight for a new medical facility in the Kirkwood area. At the time, it was a significant victory for the community—and it ignited a much larger vision. A decade later, while serving as Chair of the Planning, Economic & Community Services Committee, I helped guide the development of three new medical facilities across DeKalb County. Two of these are located in District 3, where I proudly served as Commissioner for more than 20 years. I’ve now watched that vision come to life with the opening on Flat Shoals Parkway, another soon to open at Candler/McAfee Plaza, and a third on the horizon. These facilities represent more than new buildings—they represent access, equity, and the long-term health of our residents. Thank you to the DeKalb CEO and the Board of Commissioners for their partnership in ensuring that the promise made to this community has been kept. This is the work that changes lives, strengthens neighborhoods, and secures a healthier future for all. #Legacy #Healthcare #SouthDeKalb #ForThePeople #TheHonorableLarryJohnson #LarryJohnsonForSenate
Today, I had the privilege of presenting my proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026 to the Board of Commissioners and to our community. This year’s proposal reflects a $66 million decrease from the 2025 approved budget. We took a zero-based budgeting approach, reviewing each line item to ensure we are making the most responsible use of taxpayer dollars while maintaining the high-quality services our residents expect. Just like many families and businesses, we’re navigating the impacts of inflation and economic uncertainty. Thanks to the leadership of my Citizens Budget Review Committee and their collaboration with our county departments and elected offices, this proposed budget continues to prioritize public safety, infrastructure, and the essential services that support our growing community. Key investments include: Upgrading our 911 phone system to improve emergency response Continuing to expand Community Resource Centers, including the new hub on Grayson Highway Maintaining safe roadways through proactive repaving Protecting our water resources with reliable water, wastewater, and stormwater services I’m grateful to the residents who served on this year’s citizen review committee and helped shape this proposal with their thoughtful recommendations. Now, I invite you to be part of the process. Read the full 2026 proposed budget by clicking the link in my bio and share your input! Your voice matters, and together we can ensure Gwinnett continues to thrive.
We’re pleased to share highlights from Tuesday’s ribbon cutting ceremony for Douglas County’s new Waste Transfer Station and Recycling Center located at 1730 County Services Road in Douglasville. The state-of-the-art SPLOST-funded facility replaces the previous Transfer Station which was destroyed by fire in October 2023. Effective immediately, recyclable materials such as mixed paper, plastic bottles and jugs, cardboard and more will be accepted at the recycling center. The waste transfer station will officially open to residential and commercial haulers in county and out of county on Monday, December 22. The hours of operation for both facilities are 8:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The following items will be accepted: - household trash - construction and demolition debris - yard waste We extend our gratitude to the community for their patience and support as our Public Works team worked to provide upgraded solutions for Douglas County’s waste management and recycling needs. #OneDouglasForwardTogether
