You can hear them out, as well as hear the public voice their concerns on this oversized data center about to be placed in our backyards. Regardless of where you stand, community input is what matters.

Just received this.

Dear Effingham County School District Families,

Today, the Effingham County School District, alongside our Effingham County Industrial Development Authority and Board of Commissioners, officially announced a landmark $20 billion project with OpenAI to establish a state-of-the-art campus in our county.

Before supporting this initiative, I personally visited several similar facilities to ensure this partnership would directly benefit our students, families, and the entire community. This project will allow us to invest in our educators through salary increases, create more opportunities for our students, and reduce property taxes for our residents. 

Please take a few minutes to review the resources below to learn about what this investment means for our school district and our community.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we work together to build an exceptional future for our children.  I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Best Savannah show of the year. The scene is stronger than ever 🍑

Just seen a few minutes ago on River Street

Edit: just now seeing this after the posting it my apologies I meant minutes

Every time i visit Savannah i go to Grave face because they always have lots of metal. But today their selection is much smaller and they really don't have anything. Are there any other stores with a good death/thrash/black/ metal selection?

Bamboo garden closed recently and I want to cry!! Best fried chicken on the southside imo

And what happened to the Asia restaurant </3
I hope they were closing on their own terms and not pushed out or anything. Always nice service from both places

I've been meaning to inquire forever but why tf are there so many cars & trucks spending the night at Grayson stadium? I drive past it almost nightly & (maybe shortsightedly) have no clue to why they'd all be parking there. Help an Eastsider out?

I haven’t seen a FedEx delivery in my neighborhood for 3 days. I am expecting 2 deliveries, tracking states same status as yesterday: arriving between 11:50am and 3:30pm.
Thanks

This might be a long shot, but I’m desperately looking for a marketing job (or something similar) in the Savannah area. Not looking to relocate, but I’m open to remote positions too. If anyone has any leads, I’d be so grateful. Thanks in advance!

I am looking at a condo for sale at Hoover Creek Plantation.
- Can anyone provide experience with the HOA including what the fee covers (aside from fitness center, pool and dock access)?
- How are garages acquired?
- How is sound travel within the units? It seems the complex was originally designed as apartments, so sound deadening between units was likely not a concern during construction.

Any recommendations for a fencing company that doesn’t cost an arm & a leg? We have to use “pre-fab, pre-finished aluminum” max of 48”.

I have a large desk that will not fit through my bedroom or front door, we will need to disassemble it in order to get it out of our apartment. Are there any local charities that will take disassembled furniture in the area?

TIA 😊

Have there been more military and big plane flights than normal over the historic district in the last little bit?
