The Gainesville Sun Editorial Board When Gainesville Regional Utilities moved into a new operations center on North Main Street in 2011, it opened up the opportunity to redevelop industrial land that GRU no longer needed downtown. Ten years later, the redevelopment plan for the Power District is still a work in progress. In the meantime, affordable housing has dwindled and west-side sprawl has accelerated. Officials need to finally decide on a plan for the Power District and stick to it. The Power District gets its name from GRU's continuing operations of the Kelly natural gas power plant downtown. The city-owned utility’s other properties in the area — including parking lots, warehouses and even its downtown office — are envisioned as possible locations for a walkable, mixed-use development that brings new jobs, residents and visitors to the heart of the city.
