Placeholder Image
The Statesboro City Council will gather this morning for their bi-monthly meeting to be followed by a work session that will update council members on a number of pending projects. At the meeting, which starts at 9 a.m. in council chambers on the second floor of City Hall, the council will consider a motion to annex more than 291 acres of property along Old Register Road belonging to BVT Akins L.P. and J. Edward Akins Farms, L.P. If approved, approximately 64 acres would be zoned for planned unit development – commercial retail while the remaining acreage would be zoned R-40 (single family residential). In addition, the council will consider a motion to increase the maximum building signage requirement in Sign District 3 that would allow an unnamed corporate restaurant chain to install a 91 square foot sign on at least one façade of their building.
