A new home for the correctional institute of Hall County is close to completion after a year of construction. Plans to renovate or reconstruct the building have been in the works since at least 2013, but the new location is set to open in late November, said Walt Davis, warden for the Hall County Correctional Institute. It is located between the jail and the old correctional institute on Barber Road in Gainesville.
