Gainesville is home to Florida's largest and oldest university, and is one of the state's centers of education, medicine, cultural events and athletics. The University of Florida and Shands Hospital at UF are the leading employers in Gainesville and provide jobs for many residents of surrounding counties. Known for its preservation of historic buildings and the beauty of its natural surroundings, Gainesville's numerous parks, museums and lakes provide entertainment to thousands of visitors. Because of its beautiful landscape and urban "forest," Gainesville is one of the most attractive cities in Florida. |
The CRA helps residents by building vibrant urban neighborhoods through activities and projects such as but not limited to: improving pedestrian amenities such as installation of lighting and sidewalks which increases safety; infrastructure improvements; development and/or rehabilitation of housing stock and recreational facilities and attracting high quality development to stagnant neighborhoods. These projects and activities along with others result in raised property values and increased pride in communities long ignored.
