GAINESVILLE, Ga. (March 1, 2024) – The City of Gainesville, Georgia seeks to gain guidance by inviting community stakeholders to share their ideas for the future of downtown Gainesville.
Downtown Gainesville has undergone growth like never before, which has contributed to an enhanced experience for residents, visitors and business owners alike. City leadership wishes to gain insight into what the public desires out of their town square, whether it be more restaurants, retail and services; green, recreational and open-air spaces; interactive elements such as water features or public art; framework supporting live entertainment and community events, etc.
The City also wishes to hear what aspects of the historic square could be improved.
The City will host two public input meetings from 𝟮-𝟰 𝗽.𝗺. 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟱-𝟳 𝗽.𝗺. 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟭𝟰, 𝗮𝘁 The Vault at The National, 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬𝟵 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘁. There, attendees will circulate around five interactive stations at their own pace to give feedback on the following discussion items:

• 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲: Identify park elements you most want to see in your town square
