GCRA recruiting contractors and lenders for 8th Avenue, Waldo Road grant fairs

The Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area is looking for licensed contractors and lenders to participate in four resource fairs this spring, where they can connect with property owners eligible for renovation grants along the 8th Avenue and Waldo Road corridors. The fairs run from 6 to 8 p.m. on four consecutive Mondays — April 20 through May 11 — at the MLK Jr. Multipurpose Center on NE 14th Street. The City Commission has allocated $2 million for the incentive program, which supports interior and exterior improvements for homeowners, business owners, and nonprofits in those corridors.
