1. Six Duluth restaurants have received a grade of "A" from the Georgia Department of Health. The latest health department scores in Gwinnett County were conducted between Mar. 4 and Mar. 11. "A" is the highest grade a restaurant can receive and is given when its points total between 100 to 90. The top grades in Duluth went to Pings Place, Duluth Rexall Grill, Smoothie King, Alebrije Mexican Cuisine, Moes Southwest Grill, and Noona. (Patch)
2. Leadership Gwinnett has begun accepting applications for the Class of 2023. The program is designed for high-potential professionals to help them gain a true understanding of the people and issues shaping Gwinnett's future and how they can impact those issues. 42 individuals will be selected for the 9-month course.
