Construction Of Zion Lutheran Church’s New Sanctuary Leads To Legal Dispute

Legal filings are revealing the answer for why the construction of a Gainesville church sanctuary halted, even before the pandemic began.
The sanctuary site on the northwest side of a prominent Gainesville intersection at Northwest 16th Avenue and 34th Street remains stuck at the same point as when construction stopped in late 2019.
The exposed wood beams are weathering to gray, sawhorses remain right where the last builder crews left them and congregation members cannot enter the site, as they would have been expected to do by now if the project had gone as planned.
