Hudgens, Democrat Elizabeth “Liz” Johnson of Bulloch County and Libertarian Edward T. “Ted” Metz; and Georgia Agriculture Commissioner — Incumbent Republican Gary Black and Democrat Christopher James Irvin.Also, Statesboro residents will be able to vote in the special city election regarding the Redevelopment Powers Law, which is targeted at encouraging development in the blighted portions of South Main Street and other areas.The Redevelopment Powers Law enables local governments, with a one-time voter approval, to designate blighted or underdeveloped areas as tax allocation districts. This neither creates a tax nor increases rates, but any growth in property tax revenue from new buildings and rising real estate values in a TAD must be spent on improvements benefitting the district.
