The Gwinnett County Board of Health and The Four Corners Primary Care Centers Inc., has joined forces to produce a new primary care clinic. This Federally Qualified Health Center has been approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The federal grant will be issued in the amount of $566,667 a year for three years. It will be called the Four Corners Primary Care Center and will be located at 5030 Georgia Bell Court in Norcross according to Vernon Goins (health department spokesman).

The center is designated to open its doors in November, and will be welcoming their services to uninsured and underinsured clients on a sliding-fee scale. “This will offer complete public health services to the county. This was something that was most needed”,said Goins. They are hoping that their efforts will help free up space in hospital emergency rooms throughout the county.

Imagine Air: Lawrenceville’s New Air Taxi Service

Imagine Air: Lawrenceville's New Air Taxi Service

Atlanta, GA Real Estate

Two Georgia Tech Grads are making their vision a reality. Imagine Air Jet Services, LLC, was formed by CEO Aaron Sohacki, 23, Ben Hamilton, 24 along with the financial backing of partner, Dr. Paul Fischer of Augusta. Their idea is to make provisions for an alternative to commercial and charter flights. Imagine Air covers local airports across the Southeast region (such as Gwinnett's Briscoe Field).

Imagine Air utilizes more fuel efficient planes, namely the the Cirrus SR22-GTS, costing just less than $500,000. Using a taxi-like system which emulates the model formed by NASA, Virginia Tech and the Federal Aviation Administration called the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS), Imagine Air is able to offer better rates than average charter flights.

For starts the company is making it possible for businesses to do away with overnight trips, saving their employees time and company's money. As far as future growth is concerned, Imagine Air is looking forward to adding planes, pilots and more passengers by making their service available to those outside of the top 1 percent income earners.
