One of the final hurdles to an industrial development project at the U.S. Highway 301 South and Interstate 16 interchange is cleared. City of Statesboro and Bulloch County officials signed off this month on an intergovernmental agreement that sets guidelines regarding utilities at the 516-acre site. The contract will allow the City of Statesboro’s Water/Wastewater Department to begin laying groundwork for what officials hope can become an industrial park similar to the Gateway Industrial Park located on Highway 301, closer to the city limits.
