The city of Gainesville may soon fully own and occupy the building known for more than three decades as the Joint Administration Building. Gainesville and Hall County officials are hammering out an agreement to swap buildings. The city would own and fill the downtown building at 300 Henry Ward Way, while giving the county land on Prior Street to expand its Health Department, City Manager Kip Padgett said.
