Business and economic developer Jeremy Hill left a Screven County audience with long faces Thursday morning, as his predictions for the Southeast were more dismal than optimistic. Hill's interest in Southeast Georgia remains a priority, even after a career move from Georgia Southern University to Wichita State. Screven County Chamber of Commerce sponsored a breakfast meeting at the Cail Center in Sylvania where Hill outlined some of the causes for the region's current economic turmoil in addition to some strategies to help Sylvania recover.
