Gainesville officials are once again seeking proposals to develop two parking lots off the downtown square fronting Jesse Jewell Parkway. “We are looking for a project that is residentially focused, pedestrian friendly and will enhance our thriving downtown,” City Manager Bryan Lackey said in a statement Friday. City officials rejected all bids to develop a mixed-use project at these sites in 2014 and 2011 because they did not fit the city’s vision and developers asked for tax incentives officials did not support.
