An 860-home active-adult community off Dawsonville Highway/Ga. 53 was unanimously approved by Gainesville City Council Tuesday night. Council members particularly cited the money Atlanta-based Oak Hall Companies would have to pour into improvements on the heavily traveled road. “They’re willing to invest potentially millions of dollars here, and I think I have the responsibility to take this tax burden off the taxpayer and place it on these guys, who are willing to take it,” Councilman Zack Thompson said.
