New Bluffton neighborhood features townhomes built for ‘renters by choice’
BLUFFTON — A new neighborhood off Buck Island Road in Bluffton aims to offer those who prefer to rent another option.

Statesboro keeps millage rate at 8.625, turns to reserves to cover shortfall
The Statesboro City Council declined to adopt a proposed increase in the city’s property tax millage rate September 15, voting instead to maintain the existing rate of 8.625 mills rather than raise it to the 9.6 mills recommended by city staff. The vote came during the third and final public hearing on the city’s 2026 property tax rate. Staff had recommended the higher rate to help cover increased general fund and fire protection expenses. Because of property reassessments, the city calculated a rollback rate of 8.214 mills for 2026. After accounting for the equivalent of 1.049 mills in FLOST proceeds, that figure was reduced further to 7.165 mills. The proposed 9.6-mill rate was 33.98% above the FLOST-adjusted figure and 11% above the city’s existing 8.625-mill rate. Although council did not increase the millage rate from last year, maintaining the 8.625-mill rate above the 8.214 rollback rate means the city will collect additional property tax revenue associated with reassessments. During council discussion, Councilmember Ginny Hendley said she favored keeping the millage rate where it is and using the fund balance rather than increasing the rate on residents. “I’m leaning on the side of keeping it the same and pulling from fund
