Serving Peachtree Corners Since Day One

Alex Wright has served Peachtree Corners since the city's very first election in 2012 — a founding member of a Council that took a small, unincorporated stretch of Gwinnett County and built it into one of the most recognized cities of its size in the country. Four terms later, he's still doing the same job the same way: showing up, listening, and following through.

Core Principles

Three Pillars of Leadership

Action

The Doer

Alex doesn't wait for staff to bring him ideas — he brings his own, and sees them through.

  • Curiosity Lab — Originated the idea in 2016, championed $2M funding, driving $2.4M direct impact and 8B news views.
  • The Opportunity Fund — Pushed to create a debt-free fund in 2017; paid $3.25M cash for CineBistro in 2026.
  • Town Center & Town Green — Negotiated to keep 300 apartments out of Town Center and secure green community space.
  • Decathlon & Memorial Day Challenge — Founded annual fitness competition and youth obstacle race.

  • 25+ Years Corporate Finance — Brings Wall St. and corporate discipline to municipal budgeting.
  • Zero Property Tax — Maintained commitment every fiscal year since incorporation.
  • Reserves & Bond Rating — Maintained Aa1 rating while holding 4x standard operational reserves.
