Lilburn has been working to increase traffic and interest in the city’s historic downtown district, knowns as “Old Town Lilburn.” Their latest branding efforts have resulted in the launch of a new website: Oldtownlilburnga.com.

The site allows visitors and residents to quickly and easily access information on upcoming events, local shopping and dining, and things to do like parks/ trails and area attractions.

Designed mobile-first, the site is meant for quick, in-the-moment answers to basic questions like what is happening right now, where to grab dinner or what places are pet-friendly, etc.

“We have been working to build something really special for our community, and the launch of our new website is just a part of it,” said Brian Burchik, Lilburn Community Development Administrator and Public Information Officer. “In a way, it’s a symbol of a much larger vision to revitalize Old Town.”

The website also offers a Development page for anyone looking to invest and do business in the city, with resources and information specific to developer interests.
