Hamrick getting complaints about unfinished projects

GAINESVILLE - Gainesville's Mayor Pro Tem says property owners are taking too long to renovate structures in town and he wants a time limit.

Bob Hamrick says he keeps hearing complaints about unfinished house restorations.

Right now completion time is open ended and Hamrick thinks a deadline is needed.

"We should look at this ordinance and put a definite limitation on there, if not, charge some sort of fee," Hamrick said.

Hamrick said the city imposes deadlines on business owners who announce they are closing and the same policy should apply to house owners.
