After more than 30 years, The Joint Administration Building in downtown Gainesville is close to having "joint" taken out of its name. Hall County and the city of Gainesville are close to an intergovernmental agreement where the county will trade its portion of the administration building for the city’s portion of the Community Services Center facility on the corner of Prior Street and Jesse Jewel Parkway. The swap would allow the city to consolidate the departments housed nearby in one building and give the county the space to expand its health department.
