A coalition of local organizations and business leaders will appear before Bulloch County commissioners Tuesday, seeking support for a multi-purpose venue to serve the region and its citizens. The group will attend a regularly scheduled Board of Commis-sioners meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the community room of Statesboro’s North Main Annex, to ask county leaders for a commitment of sales-tax dollars to help fund the conceptual project. Allen Muldrew, director of the Downtown Statesboro Development Authority, will offer a brief presentation to county officials and ask that they match the City of Statesboro’s pledge to use some of 2013 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax dollars for a park that would provide a permanent home to the Main Street Farmers Market, feature an open green-space for play or community events/gatherings and potentially play host to concerts or other regional attractions.
