On Oct. 3, the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce publicly released a report summarizing outcomes of its Putting Children First Infrastructure Investment Initiative, called i3. This year-long, citizen-driven effort, led by a 10-member steering committee of community leaders, researched infrastructure needs in Alachua County. The chief recommendation is to support the School Board of Alachua County’s half-cent sales tax initiative in 2018 to fund infrastructure repairs to area schools.
