At the same time, four new CID Boardmembers were added: Chris Garner, ViceChairman; Brad Williams, Post 2; RonHarrison, Post 4; and Stacy Patterson,Gwinnett County appointee. Chip and Ronshare a common bond -- their fathers wereearly CID supporters and previous Boardmembers. Chris, Brad and Stacy come fromfamilies with long-time ties to Park Place andarea businesses.

After nearly 20 years with Williams AdairRealty, Chip joined the Jackson Oats Shawcommercial real estate firm in 2011 as aleasing associate. His territory is close to theEvermore corridor, and Chip’s offices arelocated in the Oakbrook Parkway area.

As Chairman, Chip is committed to theCID’s successful advances in transportationimprovement and economic development. Hesupports the Board’s unifying strength ofleadership and positive cooperationbenefiting the community.

The grand opening of the new Cambridge Drive-McGee Roadcrossing was cause for celebration recently in the Evermore CID.

CID Board members and staff joined with representatives fromthe Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, City of Snellville andGwinnett County Department of Transportation to cut a ribbonmarking the roadway’s completed improvements.
