Thursday, January 21st, 2016
Gwinnett County is expected to surpass Fulton County to become the most populous county in metro Atlanta by 2040 if population growth follows current forecasts, according to the Atlanta Regional Commission.
The projection was part of ARC board Chairman Kerry Armstrong’s State of the Region Address, which he delivered to the Gwinnett Chamber at the 1818 Club in Duluth on Wednesday. The county is currently estimated to have about 860,000 residents and that number is expected to continue growing and surpass the 1 million people mark in the future.
