Demolition began Wednesday on the old Hall County Parks and Leisure building on Rainey Street and could be done in the next two weeks. Project administrator David Shumake said plans call for the building, now owned by Gainesville City Schools, to be torn down and the area grassed over. The school system bought the former county building for $225,000 to be paid over the course of three years.
