A pedestrian walks by a sign in front of the Curtis M. Phillips Center, a voting location in the City of Gainesville's GRU Referendum Special Election on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025.

On Tuesday voters in Gainesville overwhelmingly approved a referendum to return control of Gainesville Regional Utilities to the city. A court ruling Thursday morning pauses the transfer of control until it's settled in court.

WUFT's Victoria Perez has the story.
