Statesboro’s Public Works Department intends to roll out a pair of vehicles this month that will be the first in a plan to save big dollars for the city. One year ago, City Council, with the recommendation of department leaders, purchased from First Transit Inc. a compressed natural gas, or CNG, fueling station located on U.S. Highway 301 South. The station had been the natural gas provider for buses operated by Georgia Southern University.
