Officials could soon start work on this park in south Gainesville

The land for the proposed Butler park is cleared Friday, Oct. 25, 2019, at the site behind the Butler Center and Hall County Health Department. The National Park Service was scheduled to inform Hall County about a grant for a new park in September, but the county still hasn’t heard about the grant and can’t spend its own money on the project yet. Commissioner Jeff Stowe is asking for an exception to grant application rules so work can start on Butler Park in south Gainesville. - photo by Scott Rogers
