Court is back in session in Hall County where, earlier today, the courthouse was evacuated due to a gas leak.
The Gainesville Fire Department says construction workers hit a natural gas line. It happened in the area where the new Marriott Hotel is being built on the corner of Spring Street and EE Butler Parkway, according to a courthouse employee.
The leak temporarily closed the Hall County Courthouse, Courthouse Annex and adjacent parking deck. They were shut down around 11 a.m. and reopened within the hour.
