Mimi Collins took the reins of the Gainesville/Hall ‘96 Foundation on Friday morning when the new board of directors met for the first time. The foundation is moving to take control of the Lake Lanier Olympic Center’s destiny and restore it from a neglected site to its former glory, with the ability to generate revenue. The nonprofit, also known as Gainesville/Hall County ’96 Roundtable, worked to bring Olympic rowing and paddling events to the area for the 1996 Summer Olympics and then maintained the site’s legacy.
