Statesboro City Council has agreed to spend more than $100,000 on a plan that could potentially save the city millions in fuel costs. Councilmen voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the purchase of a compressed natural gas fueling station, with the intent to gradually transition the city’s fleet of heavy-duty service trucks to run on the clean-burning, affordable energy alternative. Council decided to acquire the station from First Transit — located on U.S. Highway 301 South — in an amount not to exceed $120,000.
