Recently, the City of Gainesville executed a paid parking process for Downtown Gainesville. Immediately, patrons stopped showing up downtown, businesses felt an immediate impact, spoke up, and the city decided to place a pause on paid parking to further evaluate.

We decided to go down and interview some of the business owners downtown in order to dive deeper into their concerns. What do you think Gainesville? Would paying for parking downtown reduce your trips downtown? What do you think the city should do?

Podcast Family,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that we will be taking a hard pause on future podcast recordings.

Nothing is more important to me than being in tune with God's will for my life and I've felt an urge to take some time to really reflect and think about the direction of this show and where God wants it all to go.

Until now, I've really pushed back against "pausing" because I've met so many businesses and individuals that have made me go "WHOA!" I LOVE this community and the greatest gift in all of this has been the relationships that have been built with so many of you. That has brought me the most joy in all of this.

I will let you know our future plans as they are revealed. For now, I just want you to know how much I appreciate you, your support, and all that you do for our community.

Thank you so much for everything!

Best wishes always,

Collin

This past November, there was a local election for the vacant Gainesville City Commission seat. The race was close between two candidates, Dr. Cynthia Chestnut and Matthew Howland. Because neither of the candidates received over 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff election on January 25th.

Since there will be a runoff, I reached out to both candidates to come in for separate interviews and share why they felt they would be the right choice for the seat. Both originally accepted my invitation, but unfortunately, Dr. Cynthia Chestnut had to cancel last minute.

In today's episode, hear my interview with Matthew Howland, and get to know him a little better!

And PLEASE, be sure to get out and VOTE on January 25th!
