A Future-Focused Community: Introduction to the City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia

Incorporated in 2012, the City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia stands out as Gwinnett County’s largest city and a beacon of modern urban planning. Despite its relative youth, it has earned a reputation for dynamic public-private partnerships, a thriving tech sector, and scenic enclaves along the Chattahoochee River. As the only planned northern suburb of Atlanta, Peachtree Corners consistently explores new ways to improve the quality of life for its residents.

Motivated by its legacy of innovation, city leadership envisioned a mobile platform that centralizes everything from local news and events to business promotions and community reporting. This new app encapsulates Peachtree Corners’ commitment to combining technological progress with community engagement—bringing “innovative and remarkable” city services right to users’ fingertips.

Breaking Barriers to Impact: The City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia’s Need for a Digital Presence

Although recognized for a robust economy and state-of-the-art programs like Curiosity Lab, the City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia faced a common municipal challenge: keeping residents seamlessly connected. Their website, social channels, and newsletters were effective yet fragmented. Residents desired a single digital “front door” where they could quickly find city updates, event calendars, and local services.

City officials also saw an opportunity to foster greater collaboration—whether by streamlining issue reporting or showcasing local businesses. They sought a mobile solution that embraced the city’s forward-thinking ethos. That’s when Chop Dawg stepped in, ready to design an all-in-one app that mirrors Peachtree Corners’ spirit of innovation and community-first ideals.

How We Worked Together

Building a Comprehensive Digital Solution: A Collaborative Journey

Working side by side with the City of Peachtree Corners, Georgia, Chop Dawg embarked on a mission to unify municipal services, community engagement, and local commerce into one user-friendly experience. Our collaboration began with a series of in-depth discussions, gathering insights from city leadership—including department heads—to shape a truly user-centric platform. Guided by the city’s future-focused values, we transformed these insights into intuitive wireframes, clickable prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups—always ensuring the design stayed true to Peachtree Corners’ branding and vision. We then moved into phased development, first delivering core news and event features, and later rolling out advanced functions such as community reporting, live streaming, and user-driven events. By embracing an iterative approach at every stage, we consistently refined the platform to reflect Peachtree Corners’ progressive goals.

In the end, this partnership culminated in a powerful digital solution that not only supports daily life but also fuels the city’s long-term growth, showcasing what can be achieved through close collaboration and shared innovation.
