The first home in the Heartwood subdivision of east Gainesville was completed, breaking ground after 10 years of preparation.
David Arreola, a Gainesville city commissioner, said he’s really impressed with the amenities and quality of the home. Arreola, who has been a commissioner for four years, said he’s excited for the growth of this neighborhood because it’s one of the first new subdivisions built in east Gainesville in a long time.
“The city commission, even before my time, has long been putting resources and planning into this project,” he said. “And I’m just lucky enough to be here when it finally comes to fruition.” Arreola said this subdivision will be the first fully integrated mixed income community in Gainesville, and to introduce housing that’s affordable to a lot of people is a win-win.
