Project M-9285(2) consists of the proposed widening and reconstruction of S.R. 13/U.S. 23 within the city limits of Norcross from Jimmy Carter Boulevard (S.R. 140) northeasterly to Langford Drive, a distance of 1.9 miles. The environment in the project area consists of recent commercial development interspersed with residential development. The survey boundary and methodology were established using GDOT/ FHWA Cultural Resource Guidelines. These guidelines were established as a result of past interaction with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and her staff and were agreed upon by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the SHPO. The Department of Natural Resources' survey of potential historic resources in Norcross, Georgia was consulted in an effort to identify previously inventoried sites in the project vicinity. The current National Register list was consulted in an effort to identify any existing National Register properties in the project vicinity. In addition, a field survey was conducted for the purpose of identifying potentially eligible historic resources. No existing or potential National Register properties were identified within the project's area of potential environmental impact. Therefore, implementation of project M-9285 (2), Gwinnett County will have no effect on existing or potential National Register properties.
