Green Space Initiative

Leadership:  Dale Jaegar, The Jaegar Company and RK Whitehead, Whitehead Diecasting

The group has mapped existing Green Space in Gainesville-Hall County and is coordinating efforts between the City of Gainesville, Flowery Branch, Oakwood and all of Hall County on specific pedestrian trails, specifically the Central Hall Trail.

Midtown Greenway

The City of Gainesville has been working since 2000 to redevelop a unique section of the city, known as Midtown. Development concepts include renovating the historic railroad depot, establishing an entertainment district, converting the CSX rail line into a greenway, installing streetscape along key streets, providing mixed-income housing, and protecting some of the area's valuable historic resources.

A public investment the City is implementing for the Midtown area is the conversion of the CSX rail line into a greenway and the building of a park.  This greenway in Midtown will improve the aesthetics of the area and will provide an alternative mode of walk ability, recreational opportunities, and pedestrian connections to the downtown square, the Elachee Nature Science Center trail system, and the Rock Creek Greenway.

Sidewalk Project 

The Sidewalk Project seeks to assist Gainesville, Oakwood, Flowery Branch, and Hall County in creating a sidewalk project where citizens apply for sidewalk installation and take part in the program by prioritizing and having input on areas served.
