City seeking proposals for redevelopment of old fire station property

Gainesville is seeking proposals for the redevelopment of the property on Piedmont Road which is the location of the city’s former fire station #2. The property and the 7,500-square-foot building were vacated several years ago when the station relocated into a new facility on Park Hill Drive.

According to legal documents announcing the city’s plans, city officials are looking for someone to “redevelop and lease and/or purchase” the property. They are seeking “a concept that will complement and enhance the existing residential area and redevelop the station and/or area as an asset for the enjoyment of the community.” Parking must be included.

The city is seeking sealed proposals until 2:00 Jan. 13.
