Development Review Board

The Development Review Board of the City of Gainesville, Alachua, met on September 22, 2026, to review two planning items.

The second item was a major development plan for a project identified as 2026-684 Smyrna Ready Mix. These items are under review, so no construction is open yet. Contractors, trades, and suppliers may find future work if these projects advance, but no specific trades or services were named in the record.
