Voices lilting, Statesboro’s team invoked a town and university relationship going back to 1906 and a Blue Mile that will feature a local Stars Walk in the home of the Statesboro Blues. After revealing an America’s Best Communities medallion freshly 3D-printed at the soon-to-open local Innovation Incubator, one of the three team members capped the pitch with an invitation to sweet iced tea. After also seeing the Blue Mile plan in detail, the judges at the America’s Best Communities Summit in Durham, N.C., on Wednesday chose Statesboro as one of eight finalist communities.
