Gainesville Mayor Danny Dunagan called 2015 “a very good year for the city,” and 2016 is starting off at a fast pace. “There are many needs to address as our city continues to grow and move forward,” Dunagan said during a state of the city speech Tuesday evening. “But I want to assure every citizen of Gainesville that your city council and city staff will make sure that your city will operate as efficiently as possible while maintaining the quality of life that our citizens deserve and expect.”
