Statesboro City Councilman John Riggs met with a small contingent of students Tuesday, at a town-hall style meeting in Georgia Southern University’s Education Building Auditorium. The representative for Statesboro’s fourth council district – a district that includes many students who live in off-campus housing near the university – sat down with students to address ongoing issues and encourage a stronger connection between the city and its temporary residents. Riggs, whose voting district includes much of Fair Road, Lanier Drive and Georgia Avenue, talked with students for more than one hour Tuesday regarding issues that ranged from alcohol sales and crime, to local business and the implementation of a student liaison to council.
