Statesboro City Council and Mayor Jan Moore postponed a decision Tuesday on transferring America’s Best Community’s competition winnings from city control to the new Blue Mile Foundation Inc. District 1 Councilman Phil Boyum said he wants to make sure the city is adequately represented on the foundation’s board. If the city approves a change in a January 2016 agreement, the foundation will take control of more than $1.13 million for revitalization efforts on South Main Street, nicknamed the Blue Mile.
