Here are the top three stories in Dacula today:
- Gwinnett County recently gave Explore Gwinnett, the county's tourism and hospitality organization, $500,000 of its federal Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery funds to invest in several areas of the county impacted by the pandemic. According to a press release, half the money will go toward leasing license plate readers at 110 hotels to improve safety and prevent auto theft; $150,000 will go toward helping prepare select high school students to work in the entertainment industry; and $100,000 will go toward Explore Gwinnett's Arts Recovery Program. (Subscription: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
- Dacula High School has opened registration for session two of its School Plus and Credit Recovery program, which helps students in grades 10 through 12 receive missing credit that might otherwise prevent them from graduating. Registration will be available until Apr. 11, and classes will begin Apr. 17 through May. 4. (Dacula High School via Facebook)
- New listings continue to hit the real estate market across Georgia. This list features the newest listings in and around Dacula, including a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home on Vidalia Court for $437,800. (Dacula Patch)
