Flat Creek restoration project hits halfway mark
Work could be completed by October

Crews continue the Flat Creek project Monday afternoon near Marler Street behind the old Gainesville Mill. The creek is being diverted from its current tree-lined path through the pond, which is currently being renovated.
Work is about halfway done on a $1 million restoration of Flat Creek as it flows through an industrial section of Gainesville. Officials have revised an earlier projection the work would be finished by early July, now saying it could be finished by late September or early October. It turns out that harsh winter weather was a bigger factor than expected.
