Gainesville City Council members are expected to consider creating a joint opportunity zone with Hall County at their Tuesday meeting. The council heard a presentation on the West Gainesville-Hall County Opportunity Zone, a tax credit program, from Jonathan Gelber, a senior consultant with Bleakly Advisory Group. It would allow companies that move into or expand in the zone to get a $3,500 tax credit for each new job created.
