www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Duluth offers critically acclaimed restaurants, apartments and townhomes within walking distance of downtown and a Town Green for its nearly 30,000 residents to gather with family and friends. But much of what gives the city its inviting nature didn’t exist a few decades ago.


With a downtown already partially remade, the city is preparing to expand along the “other side of the tracks” while creating an inclusive environment for its residents new to Duluth and to the U.S.

Much like Gwinnett County itself, Duluth was once a predominately white town. But beginning in the 1990s, population booms brought new residents from every corner of the globe. A quick drive up Duluth Highway toward downtown offers a glimpse of the high concentration of Asian-Americans, with Korean-owned businesses and churches dotting both sides of the road.
