For nearly a decade of service as the representative for Statesboro’s District 1, City Councilman Tommy Blitch was celebrated Tuesday by friends, family and colleagues. City staff hosted a reception to honor the eighth-year councilman, who announced in August that he would relinquish the seat because of health concerns, following a Tuesday morning meeting in City Hall. Council kicked off the morning with official recognition of Blitch’s work as a city leader.
