President Barack Obama signed a bill last week that will officially name the Gainesville federal courthouse for a former judge. The courthouse on Spring Street will be known as the “Sidney Oslin Smith, Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse.” U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, sponsored HR 4618, which passed the Senate on Dec. 10.
