Lula officials are planning a field trip to Sugar Hill in North Gwinnett County on Friday.

Sugar Hill “wants to share with us some of the things they have done ... and how they’ve gotten to where they are today,” Lula City Manager Dennis Bergin told City Council on Monday night.

Mayor Steve Edwards “sees a correlation between Lula and where we are today and where Sugar Hill was 10-15 years ago, when opportunity began to knock and they had to start making some tough decisions,” Bergin said.

“I think (the trip) will mean a lot to you,” he added.

The trip is similar to one Lula took several years ago to Suwanee, another North Gwinnett city, Bergin said.
