ROOTS WITH ONA THRIVING COMMUNITY BLENDING HISTORIC CHARM AND CUTTING-EDGE INNOVATION TO CREATE A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. Alachua, Florida embodies a rare duality. “Our history is a small town, but we match that with technological innovation and forward thinking,” says Interim City Manager Rodolfo Valladares. This forward-thinking spirit fuels Alachua’s economic vitality, where cutting-edge projects like the solar-powered San Felasco Tech City, home to 65+ tech companies, coexist with a bustling Main Street. With “several subdivisions under development” and infrastructure like debt-free electric substations, Alachua meets growth demands while preserving community. For families and businesses alike, Alachua proves tradition and innovation aren’t mutually exclusive. 2 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07
