Gainesville officials are prepared to cut a $4,766 check to Don Carter Realty as “rent” payment for the use of the parking lot tucked between the downtown square and the Brenau Downtown Center. The Carter realty firm purchased the property at 106 Spring St., known as the “fourth side of the square,” for $400,000 from the city in 2001. As the property remained undeveloped, the Carters allowed the city to continue using it for parking free of charge.
