While the economy may be in trouble, the city of Gainesville will still look to improve its recreation. The city created it's wish list Monday night, which the Director of Gainesville's Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Department, Steve Phillips says includes a recreational senior center. Though you may expect this project to affect the city's budget, Burkett says the city would not pay for the operation of the facility. This and other recreational projects could be funded by a half-cent sales tax that will be on the ballot in November.
