Gainesville has received three bids to develop a mixed-use project near downtown along Jesse Jewell Parkway, and city officials hope to enter into a development agreement with one of the bidders in the coming months. The 2-acre site comprises parking lots between Main Street, Broad Street, Jesse Jewell Parkway and the former Gainesville Midland railroad land. Adjacent properties include the BB&T building and the Robson Events Center.
