Below are a couple of comments worthy of sharing regarding the possible expansion of Briscoe Field.

Commissioners, which of those components makes Gwinnett a better place to live?
You were elected and entrusted by Gwinnett citizens to make our county a better place to live, not the opposite. Residential areas surrounding an airport are NEVER enhanced, only compromised. The expansion of Briscoe Field will result in the immediate decline of Gwinnett County residences and schools and will cause an irreversible domino effect that will lead to impoverished businesses and families. Commissioners, is this really what you want your legacy to be?? DO NOT EXPAND BRISCOE FIELD.
People make up Gwinnett County, not potential dollar signs. We do not want an expanded airport here. Please listen to us and stop the pursuit of this venture.
