For almost a year, the Municipal Building, which is known as City Hall, has undergone renovations and is expected to reopen in June. Once the Municipal Building renovations are complete, the contractor wants to include a plaque recognizing the project but has not chosen what the building should be titled on the plaque. Similar conflicts have come into play as to the name of the library. Commissioner Tom McKnew said the library should be renamed because the building is no longer used as a library. They would get confused and go to the real library.
Commissioners agree that the best way to settle on the names of the buildings is through a contest.
If approved, the contest will allow people to fax, call or e-mail suggestions to the commission, and the commission will announce the names May 13. The commission will meet at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. in Gainesville Regional Utilities' Multipurpose Room.
