Soon, Bulloch County will join three others along Interstate 16 to form an alliance designed to encourage economic growth in the area. Bulloch County commissioners voted Tuesday to join a regional economic development consortium with Bryan, Chatham and Effingham counties that aims to capitalize on the increased commerce expected to result from deepening of the Savannah harbor in the next few years. "I just see a golden opportunity for Bulloch County to get a lot of jobs" from the move, said Bulloch County Commissioner Roy Thompson.
