After a presentation Tuesday, the Alachua County Board of Commissioners are moving ahead with a project to build a sports center at Celebration Pointe but not without concerns.

The linear park would be a means of keeping pedestrians and anglers farther away from the busy highway.

The Alachua County Commission and the Gainesville City Commission held a joint meeting Monday to discuss potential development ideas for the Cabot-Koppers Superfund site and the Eighth Avenue and Waldo corridor, but no plans were approved.

Alachua County Commissioners on Tuesday heard at least one conclusion they already knew: Interstate 75's passage through the county is a double-edged sword.

The Hills of Santa Fe consistently suffers extreme flooding, especially during hurricane season. Residents are lobbying the county commission to make changes before it happens again.

On Tuesday, the board of county commissioners voted to exercise the option to purchase and protect 340 acres of private forests and wetlands.

Alachua County and Gainesville City commissioners voted 9-2 Monday to begin restructuring the local agency responsible for community redevelopment.

In a special meeting on Tuesday the county commissioners reviewed a report by their hired consultant, Victus Advisors. Thursday was the first time that both city and county officials had discussed the project publicly.

A consultant's report suggests Alachua County should build a new events center on the former Cabot-Koppers toxic superfund site in Gainesville.

Alachua County has voted to stick with the policy of no longer using the labor of Florida state prison inmates.
