ALACHUA, Fla. - Less than five months after breaking ground on a 42 parking space lot in downtown Alachua, the project is beginning to take shape. The parking lot is a project of the City of Alachua's Community Redevelopmenet Agency (CRA) and includes an underground stormwater retention basin as well as underground utilities serving nearby businesses.
he parking lot is possible because numerous property owners in the project's vicinity donated land in addition to the purchase of a shuttered daycare facility. Funding for the project came from a $150,000 grant by the United States Department of Agriculture - Rural Development as well as funds from the City of Alachua's general fund and the CRA tax increment financing funds.
