A developer who wants the city to spend $3.3 million in tax money to open a grocery store in an East Gainesville commercial plaza where two stores have previously failed says this time, things will be different.

The city is asking developers to bring plans for a community grocery store for East Gainesville possibly using American Rescue Plan Act funds or Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area funds.
Developers have until July 22 to share plans for an at least 20,000-square-foot supermarket.
What actually is built there will be determined by proposals that will soon be sought from developers.
