STORY 2: Gwinnett County's new transit plan includes expanded routes and service to Hartsfield-Jackson airport
Gwinnett County is considering an ambitious Transit Development Plan that aims to expand local and microtransit services while providing connections to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The plan outlines five modes of service, including Shared Ride (microtransit), County Ride (local bus service), Quick Ride (high-frequency service), Rapid Ride (bus rapid transit), and Airport Ride (service to the airport). The proposed routes include connections throughout Gwinnett County, improving mobility, and reducing reliance on personal vehicles. County commissioners will vote on whether to adopt the plan, which may lead to a more extensive and interconnected transit system in the region. The microtransit system, similar to a county-run Uber service, is already in operation and is planned for expansion across the county over the next decade.

Dumas is described as 5-feet-11-inches tall and around 170 pounds. Authorities are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact Gwinnett County police detectives or Crime Stoppers. A cash reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest and indictment.

Story 6: Grants bring IT opportunities, cutting-edge equipment to Georgia Gwinnett College
Georgia Gwinnett College has received two National Science Foundation grants totaling over half a million dollars to enhance opportunities for science students and acquire cutting-edge equipment. The first grant, worth $203,047, is for an inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), which can measure very small metal concentrations. This advanced equipment, rare at primarily undergraduate institutions, will attract prospective science students and provide valuable hands-on research experience. The second grant, valued at $300,000, supports the expansion of GGC's Technology Ambassador Program (TAP), aimed at increasing the number of students in IT majors, especially those underrepresented in computing. It will also create a community dedicated to promoting IT outreach and career development workshops.

Story 7: Duluth football 3-0 for the first time since 1985
