GCRA Community Workshops to Begin This Monday
The final step in the transition from the Gainesville Community Redevelopment Agency into the Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area is the consolidation of the four existing Redevelopment Plans into a single Reinvestment Plan. The City of Gainesville is hosting a series of meetings in the four former redevelopment areas in order to gain feedback from the community that will guide the new Reinvestment Plan. Those meetings are as follows:
