A new Lake Lanier visitors center is still planned, but it may take a while. “Community acceptance and support is there for a new center but we’re still waiting on funding,” said Stacey Dickson, president of the Lake Lanier Convention & Visitors Bureau. The center is primarily being funded through a special purpose local option sales tax that hasn’t performed as well as hoped.
