Statesboro leaders plan to cut spending next year in response to the expected end of the apartment-building boom the city is experiencing. Despite an approximate 3 percent cut to general fund spending — the general fund accounts for several areas, including engineering, administration, police and planning — City Manager Frank Parker said he is happy with the city’s fiscal state. “As for the city’s financial situation, I think that I can say this confidently: We are in the top 10 percent of cities in the nation,” Parker said.
