Councilmen finalized the City of Statesboro’s share of a deal to partner with Georgia Southern University for a possible expansion of the downtown City Campus and Entrepreneur Zone, E-Zone, during a meeting held Tuesday at City Hall. Council voted unanimously to approve a Memorandum of Understanding regarding a planned fabrication and business incubation center that would be added to the university’s current location on East Main Street. The agreed-upon memorandum sets terms for a partnership between the city and university, if the pair are awarded a nearly $1 million grant to be issued by the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
