Norcross recently re-certified as an ARC Green Community, one of only six Platinum-certified communities in the Metro Atlanta area, in recognition of the city's commitment to sustainable living. The second-oldest city in Gwinnett County and home to over 16,000, also holds the distinction as the first to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, due largely to the old town's historic charm of the well-preserved downtown buildings, some dating over 100 years old, that now serve as venues to popular local eateries, shops, and other local businesses.
Norcross has achieved Platinum Status, the highest possible (and one of only three cities in the region), in the Atlanta Regional Commission's Green Communities Program for its efforts to make areas environmentally friendly, including extensive work in material recycling, land use, and preservation. In addition to being designated a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in 2004 for its ongoing commitment to protecting local trees, Norcross is also recognized for affordable housing, healthy living, sustainability, and more.
