Travis Chance resigned Tuesday from the District 5 Statesboro City Council seat he has held for more than 10 years and announced his candidacy for Seat 2-B on the Bulloch County Board of Commissioners. Chance would have had to resign from the council when he moves to a home he and his wife purchased and are renovating outside Statesboro's city limits. Last week he said that their move may be several months away. But during the "Other Business from City Council" portion of Tuesday's 9 a.m. regular meeting, Chance read a statement announcing his resignation effective at 5 p.m.
