In Gainesville today, who you are determines where you live and much about your life outcomes.
Imagine GNV will confront longstanding racial disparities to help make Gainesville a place that works for everyone.
Over six months, City of Gainesville departments will partner closely with communities historically left out of the planning process, including predominantly Black communities. Together, we will identify how current city policies and actions reinforce racial inequity and lift up policies and practices that will broaden access to affordable homes, quality education, good paying jobs, and thriving neighborhoods.
The plan we develop together, Imagine GNV, will lay out priorities and actions the city can take over the next decade to reinvest in marginalized communities, address the historic and current impacts of structural racism, and guide decisions affecting nearly every aspect of life in Gainesville.
