Gainesville Mayor Zack Thompson has written an open letter to Hall County Commission Chairman David Gibbs and the rest of the commissioners in regards to the Grubs Market parking lot acquisition.

"While the Grubs property would certainly enhance a deck at this location, we are more than prepared to design and build a deck on the property we currently own to address the City's long-standing parking needs in the Midland area," Thompson said in the letter.

Thompson called Access North Georgia on Friday as well, and was asked about future plans for parking in the area.

"[Grubs Market] was never ... on our radar to acquire for the needs of downtown Gainesville," Thompson told Access North Georgia. "I'm not sure where that piece of property would fit into our plan, we would certainly look at it and see how it could make the deck bigger and more functional for the courthouse and for our citizens, but we're a long ways from that, as you could tell last night from the conversations at their meeting."
