As Habitat for Humanity of Bulloch County looks forward to late summer, its recently relocated Spike’s Habitat ReStore is teeming with customers every Friday and Saturday, and Habitat’s 50th and 51st homes are almost ready to be occupied in downtown Statesboro’s Blue Mile. The grand opening celebration for the new ReStore at 201 Johnson Street is now slated for Aug. 27, with festivities from 9-11 a.m. This event will also help mark the ReStore’s 20th year in business and the 25th year of the local Habitat effort. But first, dedications are planned for the two houses, built by Habitat and its donors, volunteers and the new homeowners.
