Gwinnett County to cut jobs

Gwinnett County is cutting 93 positions from two government departments as part of a plan to slice $35 million out of its budget. County officials announced the cuts Thursday. The county plans to cut 79 jobs from the planning and development department and 14 jobs from water resources division. A Gwinnett County spokesperson said employees will be offered retirement packages and workers must decide by November 21 if they will take the offer. It’s expected the cuts will save about $10 million over the next two years.
