Work is well underway to restore Flat Creek as it flows through an industrial section of Gainesville. An old fire pond that once served the century-old Gainesville Mill off Marler Street and Georgia Avenue has been drained and a pump building there has been demolished, said Horace Gee, Gainesville’s environmental services administrator. Also, as part of the $1 million project, workers have started cleaning up the stream in the area around Hancock and Georgia avenues and between E.E. Butler and Queen City parkways.
