Doug Seifert wins Beaufort County Sheriff race

Republican candidate Doug Seifert beat Democratic candidate Alphonso Small Jr. to become the next Beaufort County sheriff, the first new sheriff for the county in nearly three decades. With 130 out of 134 precincts reporting, Seifert received about 50,000 of about 84,000 votes to Small’s 34 000, according to unofficial results. He will replace Sheriff P.J. Tanner, who announced in March he would retire and not re-run for his position. Seifert, a 20-year veteran of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, said he wants to double the department’s drug division, keep the 287(g) agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and add a traffic team north of the Broad. He said he wants to provide more mental health resources to his officers, too. Seifert faced scrutiny over his role in a 2024 incident involving former deputy William Squires, who allegedly drunkenly pulled a gun on three teenagers. He has not made a public comment on the incident, stating he will not speak on pending civil litigation.

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. Yellin said each is looking for new office space. The Planning Commission recommended an additional condition limiting
