The rustic indoor cabin and mirror-filled exercise room are long gone, as construction workers turn a former Oakwood business location into offices for an agency that provides services to seniors and their families. In a $1.8 million project, Legacy Link is preparing to move some 80 employees from three locations across Gainesville under one roof, in what started as Oakwood Sportsmen’s Lodge and later became Bodyplex fitness center, off Mundy Mill Road. “It will improve (staff) coordination ... and save money,” Pat Freeman, the private nonprofit organization’s CEO, said of the move.
