Owners seek to rezone East 40th Street in Savannah

Both are a part of the adaptive reuse project at 2400 Bull St. that brought other commercial spaces such as Sola Suites salon to the district. Now, a string of five property owners along East 40 th are seeking to rezone their traditional neighborhood properties to a traditional commercial designation .

Statesboro's Robert Tanner reflects on 55 years of community and real estate
For 55 years, Robert Beverly Tanner has been more than a real estate professional. He has been a familiar face, a trusted friend, a mentor, and a proud Statesboro native whose life has been shaped by the relationships and a community he treasures. Born April 1, 1943, in Statesboro, Georgia, to Beb and Maddie Tanner, Robert was their only child despite coming from large loving families: his father was one of nine siblings, and his mother was one of 18 children. Growing up in a close-knit community, Robert learned early the value of friendships, family, and the simple joy of knowing your neighbors. As a young boy, his greatest passion was baseball. At 13 years old, Robert was known around the Statesboro Recreation Department as “Rabbit,” a talented shortstop who dreamed of playing in the Majors. When he realized that dream would not become his future, he joked that he became “a lost soul” who simply skated through life searching for his place. That journey led him to Georgia Southern College, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1965 and a Bachelor of Science in Public Recreation in 1968. After several careers and many life lessons, Robert found

When driving south down State Route 119 in Springfield, Wilder Road is easy to miss. It is tucked between Beaubrook Boulevard and the Forestry Department just off the busy 2-lane state corridor. An unpaved road shaded by towering trees, Wilder Road retains the rural character that once defined much of the area. Grass, woods and long stretches of open land surround the private roadway, offering a glimpse of a landscape that is increasingly rare amid the region's growth. But a large housing development will change the landscape of the rural community as the city of Springfield recently approved the construction of up to 301 lots on 116 acres on Wilder Road.
