Gainesville, FL
Along Primary Interstates: I-75
Along US Numbered Highways (<=5mi): US-441
I-75:
From: Ocala, FL - 37.2 miles
To: Lake City, FL - 45.1 miles
Diversion: 1.6 miles
From: Brandon, FL - 128.7 miles
To: Tifton, GA - 150.1 miles
Splits an 80.7 mile gap between Ocala, FL and Lake City, FL.
But, will be helpful for efficient Supercharger travel by providing better skipping options.

Yep, that's it, I stopped by this morning and talked to an installer, definitely Tesla, he just did the two new superchargers around Jacksonville. He wouldn't commit to when it would be finished though, likely a few weeks.

Thanks,
As of today, Feb 12th, the online permitting system still does not yet show that a permit has been issued, but apparently from the email communication a permit is imminent. For the benefit of those following this thread, the email is an exchange between the Site Acquisition Manager with Black & Veatch, Tesla's engineering and construction firm that is responsible for designing, site assessment and permitting of Supercharger Stations, and the Gainesville Chief Plans Examiner. The Site Acquisition Manager is inquiring regarding the status of the building permit and the Plan Examiner is responding that he is working on the permit, but General Liability & Worker Comp Certificates for the Tesla contractor performing the work are still required.
It appears to me that the contractor is staging fencing, barricades, etc. in preparation for the permit, but in the absence of a permit hasn't broken ground yet.
Based on the posted photos and photos that ejp001 has provided to me, here are some Google views providing an orientation of where I thinks the charging stalls will go relative to the various landmarks in the shopping mall. (For those that have actually visited the site, please let me know if this isn't precisely correct.)
The Google view of the parking lot shows the previous layout. It has since been improved to install a sidewalk adjacent to the where the charging stalls will be aligned.
This Google street view shows where the charging stalls will go in relation to the Bonefish Grill, Whole Foods and Chilli's.
Here are some additional actual photos that esp001 provided to me earlier today.

I’ve never noticed the construct banner with a Tesla advertisement, but I think it’s a good idea.
The Supercharger hardware was delivered today, and they are running conduit underground. Moving quickly!

I hope I am wrong but it's proximity to the entrance of Whole Foods makes me think these will be ICE'd on the reg.
Just put all Superchargers in the worst spots possible everywhere. Ugh.

Your wish has been granted. These SCs are on the side of the Whole Foods, not in front. Also, as indicated in the photo, a reasonable distance from that building. There are four Chargepoint EVSEs in front, near the entrance and I have never seen more than one ICE in them. Of course, your general concern is warranted.
