Statesboro Mall in Statesboro, GA grew around Belk, raised its ceilings, and lost JCPenney. What's left now?

Belk moves to U.S. 80, and one bank blocks another. Belk had run its Statesboro store downtown since 1950. In 1970 the department store moved out to Northside Drive East, the local stretch of U.S. 80, on a site reached from Brannen Street and Lovett Road, and it was open there before the rest of the project was finished.

Novant Health apologizes after 40K workers don't get paid on time. Here's what happened

Novant Health, which has a growing health care empire across the Carolinas including Hilton Head, was forced to explain and apologize to its 40,000 employees Friday after a technology mix-up led to workers not getting paid on time. The check delay was first reported by WFMY News in Greensboro, N.C. The TV station reported being contacted by a few Novant employees who said that they had not received their pay. The delay was later confirmed by Novant. Novant Health switched to a new payroll distribution vendor in October, according to a statement from a Novant spokesperson issued to the Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette at noon Friday. “Following that transition, we identified a technology issue that impacted the arrival time of deposits into each financial institution’s account,” the statement said. “Payroll has been completed, and funds have been transmitted to financial institutions for deposit.” ADP, Novant’s payroll vendor, has confirmed that payments will reach bank accounts Friday, the spokesperson said. The company apologized for the frustration and concern the delay caused and said it was working to make sure it does not happen again. Employees who received overdrafts or returned payment charges as a result of the delay in paycheck

SEDA seeks rezoning for new office building at Forsyth Park campus

The Savannah Economic Development Authority is seeking to expand its Forsyth Park campus with offices intended for several Savannah-area small business organizations. The Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission last week recommended approval of a rezoning at SEDA’s office site from Traditional Neighborhood-1 to the more intense Traditional Commercial-2, which would allow for a larger building. The Planning Commission’s recommendation was given with a condition limiting uses at the site to the less intense Traditional Commercial-1. SEDA agreed to the condition, citing a future office use as its intended purpose. “We have numerous small businesses that can't find (office) space. SEDA has a mission to support these businesses and thought it would be a good idea to develop (offices) on this site,” said Joshua Yellin, a HunterMaclean attorney representing SEDA. Economic development news: Expansion of Savannah Machinery Works to add hundreds of jobs SEDA's proposed office building would house organizations that promote the Savannah area’s business community. Yellin said expected tenants include Startup Savannah, the Savannah Harbor Innovation Partnership, the Georgia Southern University Business Innovation Group and GSU’s Center for Irish Research and Teaching.
