After 2 1/2 years as a vacant, unfinished shell, the first-floor office space at the Gainesville Community Redevelopment Agency building has a tenant.
Two weeks back, Gainesville-based technology firm SharpSpring relocated from the downtown Sun Center to the CRA building on the 800 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue.
Rick Carlson, the founder and president of SharpSpring, said the location offered close proximity to downtown, the Innovation Hub and the Northwest Sixth Street and Northwest 13th Street corridors. The location allows most employees to walk or ride a bike to work, he said.
