Chatham County approves transit tax levy with new demands for CAT

Chatham County commissioners unanimously approved CAT's fiscal year 2027 tax rate Friday, ending a contentious budget season while setting up another potential funding fight next year The approval of the CAT tax rate, levied in the county and cities receiving CAT fixed-route services, formally solidifies the agency’s $42 million budget approved in late June. While the approval secured CAT’s fiscal year funding, it did not end the tensions between the two groups. Commissioners approved a resolution alongside the millage levy that outlined several demands of CAT before next year’s funding cycle. District 7 Commissioner and Chairman Pro Tempore Dean Kicklighter said if CAT did not meet the demands, it could face significant cuts in next year’s budget cycle. “The County Commission took action this past Friday to ensure accountability,” Kicklighter said in a press conference Monday. The demands outlined in the resolution reflect concerns brought by commissioners throughout multiple meetings in this year’s budget cycle; they pertain to past service cuts and funding for Savannah-specific services such as the fare-free DOT Shuttle and Savannah Belles Ferries. Specific requests in the resolution include CAT conduct a forensic financial audit, by a county-selected third party; restore previous route cuts; not implement any

Statesboro Council approves Burkhalter Road design negotiations, transit bus request

Statesboro City Council approved a slate of transportation and insurance items Tuesday morning, August 4, 2025, including authorization to begin negotiations for engineering design work on Burkhalter Road improvements and a request for four replacement transit buses. Council also heard renewed concerns about garbage carts being left along city streets, while City Manager Charles Penny discussed a potential promotional video highlighting Statesboro at an October conference. Burkhalter Road design work Council approved staff entering negotiations with Kimley-Horn and Associates for engineering design services on the Burkhalter Road Transportation Improvements Project. The project includes widening Burkhalter Road from Herman Rushing Road to State Route 67, along with intersection improvements at Cawana Road and SR 67. The City of Statesboro and Bulloch County will each cover half of the design cost. Penny said the Burkhalter Road corridor needs attention because of continued growth and traffic congestion, particularly for motorists turning right onto SR 67. He said the city will return to council once negotiations are complete. Replacement buses Council authorized the city to request four replacement vehicles through the Coastal Regional Commission for Statesboro Area Transit’s FY2028 funding cycle. The city’s local match is estimated at $65,000 from 2023 TSPLOST funds. Penny

Country Club Road reopens in Bulloch County after 15-month closure

A section of Country Club Road in Bulloch County has reopened to traffic after being closed for nearly 15 months because of extensive storm and drainage damage. Bulloch County officials announced Monday, August 3, that Reeves Construction completed the repair project 26 days ahead of schedule. Work was originally expected to continue until around Labor Day. The closure affected Country Club Road between Bent Tree Road and Hood Road, creating a lengthy detour for residents and others who regularly use the route. The damage developed over several severe weather events beginning with Tropical Storm Debby in August 2024. Additional heavy rainfall in November 2024 further damaged the road’s embankment and drainage system. A storm on May 12, 2025, dropped approximately 6.9 inches of rain in the area, worsening the erosion and creating conditions county engineers determined were unsafe for traffic. The county closed the road that day . Engineers determined the three major rainfall events had damaged the drainage structures beneath the road and eroded the surrounding embankment. The system carries overflow from the Hood Pond spillway beneath Country Club Road and into Watering Hole Branch. Bulloch County contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates in June 2025 to design a replacement
