2026-674 Thelma Boltin Stakeholder Presentation (B)
The Public Recreation and Parks Board for the City of Gainesville, Alachua, will receive a stakeholder presentation for the Thelma Boltin project at its September 16, 2026 meeting. This item is under review, meaning the project is in the early planning stages and has not been opened for bids or construction. The presentation will share information about the proposed work with stakeholders, which is a key step before site plans and permits are finalized. The scope of work for this project is not detailed in the agenda item, so the specific construction phases are not yet known. However, the project is named after Thelma Boltin, which suggests it may involve improvements to a community facility or park. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should pay attention to this item as it signals a potential future opportunity. Reaching out to the city early, before detailed plans are set, is the best way to stay informed and position your business for the work that may follow.
