Roosevelt Square's renovations are scheduled to be finished this month with a public dedication planned for Dec. 8.
Hall County is ponying up $50,000 to support a redesign of Roosevelt Square in downtown Gainesville, which will be complete by a Dec. 8 dedication. In addition to giving the public area a fresh look, city officials hope renovations will draw community events and group activities such as yoga, concerts, fashion shows and student meetings. The square, nestled between City Hall, an administration building, the federal courthouse and the Brenau Downtown Center, is named after former President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
