Former Gainesville CRA-backed restaurant to be sold at auction

A when popular east Gainesville restaurant renovated working with taxpayer pounds will soon be sold to the highest bidder.

Southern Allure Kitchen, situated at 1714 SE Hawthorne Road, and all of its products will hit the auction block on June 1 starting off at 11 a.m. with an opening bid of $250,000,  formally ending what has been a long rocky highway involving town officers and the restaurant’s proprietor.

The team operating the auction, Campen Auctions, will also sell off a few containers of restaurant machines that will be marketed separately and in a lot on June 2.

The Gainesville Group Redevelopment Agency invested a minor far more than $330,000 to redevelop the land between 2008 to 2010 in hopes of encouraging financial growth in the southeast part of city. The restaurant, which battled its individual difficulties for yrs, hardly ever spurred the consequence officials hoped.
