A $100 million investment, 500 jobs and 100 acres of new commercial/industrial space with infrastructure for businesses — those are the fiscal year 2013 objectives for the Gainesville-Hall County Economic Development Council. A Google search won’t bring up much information about the council, whose purpose is to help create jobs and grow the local economy. It’s a public-private partnership started in 1992 with the Gainesville City Council, the Hall County Board of Commissioners and the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce.
