Here are the top 3 stories in Duluth today:

1. Gwinnett will translate election materials into four Asian languages. Last week commissioners approved a budget that included translations for sample ballots and voter outreach materials. The actual ballots, however, will continue to be available in English and Spanish — per federal law. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
2. Davenport Road in Duluth will be closed for the next six weeks. Utility work is being completed from Buford Highway to just past the Duluth Public Safety Center and the driveway 570 feet southeast of Buford Highway. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)
3. A man was arrested in Gwinnett County for a Duluth murder in late August. Ladavion Markell Smith is facing charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, multiple criminal street gang charges, and more. He is being held at Gwinnett County Jail without bond. (CBS46)
