The Gainesville City Council will hold a work session on Thursday to address issues relating to pawnshop licenses, renovating the Wessell Park Court and demolition of the Green Street Pool. Green Street Pool was opened in 1931, but the city closed the site in 2009 because it needed between $500,000 and $750,000 in repairs. Director of Parks and Recreation Melvin Cooper said in July that the Parks and Recreation Board has approved the first phase of renovation of the site, estimated to cost $28,250 and paid for with impact fees.
