A source with the Hall County government has confirmed that Gainesville has matched Corrections Corp. of America's offer on the old county jail, and is willing to pay $7.2 million to control the future of the Main Street property. Gainesville officials confirmed Tuesday they have submitted a written offer but would not discuss details, citing ongoing negotiations. CCA, which is currently leasing the midtown Gainesville building, was close to a deal with the county to buy it.
