The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a public scoping meeting on the Glades Reservoir project at Gainesville State College on Tuesday afternoon.
The issues brought to the table Tuesday were hyperlocal. Alan Atwood, of Gainesville, came to Gainesville State College to find out how building a reservoir to provide Hall County with water for the next 50 years would affect his bottom line. He said his wife, who is in Italy, sent him on the errand to Gainesville State where a number of experts were available to talk about the Glades Reservoir proposal Tuesday afternoon.
