The long-discussed, unrealized redevelopment of two former subsidized housing properties is among the Gainesville Community Redevelopment Agency’s slimmed down set of priorities.
Beginning with the upcoming budget year, CRA staff intends to focus more narrowly on projects and initiatives that spur economic development and have ripple effects in the city’s four community redevelopment districts.
Those include the redevelopment of the Seminary Lane property in the Fifth Avenue/Pleasant Street district and the Kennedy Homes site in the Eastside district.
The six-acre Seminary Lane property off Northwest Fifth Avenue and Northwest 12th Street has stood fallow since the subsidized apartment complex was razed in 2009.
