Gainesville to seek funding to help homeowners on fixed income with repairs
City of Gainesville Administrative Building1
Development, expanding public transportation and road infrastructure projects, and improving code enforcement and public safety were among the priorities identified by the Gainesville City Council during its annual retreat Friday.
Gainesville plans to seek $600,000 in federal grant money that could be used in part to help homeowners on fixed income repair their homes. At a city council work session Thursday, elected officials got behind the effort. Council gave the greenlight to special projects manager Jessica Tullar to apply and receive the grant, which is made available through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
