Flowery Branch is seeking bids through Nov. 2 on removing asbestos from and tearing down the old Mooney Manufacturing Co. building off Gainesville and Main streets. As part of the endeavor, the South Hall city plans to work with three local banks on terms for a short-term loan, which would be paid back through the city’s tax allocation district, a fund for public redevelopment projects, City Manager Bill Andrew said. Flowery Branch has $178,620 in its TAD account now and will have $270,435 starting Jan. 1, he said.
