Plus, Gainesville residents face uncertainty regarding GRU future rates – and, amid controversy sparked by the “GRU Takeover” bill initiated by Governor Ron DeSantis – Senate Bill HB-1645. This bill aims to establish a governor-appointed authority board for Gainesville Regional Utilities and potentially reduce the city commission’s influence over the municipal-owned utility.
