Statesboro redevelopment plan targets Tormenta FC stadium

A proposed redevelopment of the property housing the former Tormenta FC stadium and The Clubhouse could reshape a once-busy sports and entertainment destination in Statesboro. But questions remain about the future of the professional soccer team and what the project would mean for the entertainment center. The Statesboro Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning request on November 3, 2026. Statesboro City Council is scheduled to consider the request November 17. The proposal calls for a mixed-use town center that would replace the stadium with buildings combining ground-floor businesses and upper-floor residences. The Clubhouse, which houses a bowling alley and arcade/entertainment center, also appears in renderings of the overall project. Its inclusion leaves an important question unanswered: What improvements are planned for The Clubhouse, and how would it fit into the redevelopment? The redevelopment proposal comes more than eight months after USL League One announced that South Georgia Tormenta FC would not compete in the 2026 season . That announcement came February 23, one week before the season opener. The proposed replacement of the stadium adds another question to that uncertainty: Where would the professional team play if it resumed competition? The zoning request itself does not answer those

Georgia officials tracking invasive tegus that can grow 4 feet long

A large invasive lizard native to South America has established a wild population in southeast Georgia , and state wildlife officials are asking residents to report sightings as they work to keep the reptiles from spreading. The Argentine black and white tegu can grow up to 4 feet long and weigh 10 pounds or more, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. DNR says Georgia's only known wild population is in Toombs and Tattnall counties. The agency has been investigating reports of the reptiles in the area since 2018. Although tegus are occasionally reported in other parts of Georgia, DNR says those sightings generally involve escaped or released pets rather than additional established wild populations. Where have invasive tegus been found in Georgia? The only known wild population of Argentine black and white tegus in Georgia is in Toombs and Tattnall counties, according to DNR. The agency began investigating reports in eastern Toombs County and western Tattnall County in 2018. DNR is working with the public and other partners to track sightings, trap the reptiles and assess the population. The University of Georgia's Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health maintains a map of reported Argentine black and white
