Nearly five months ago, the America's Best Communities (ABC) competition announced Statesboro as one of eight finalists for a $3 million grand prize. The ABC competition is sponsored by Frontier Communications, DISH, CoBank and The Weather Channel. I sat down this past week with Keely Fennell, Darron Burnette, Bob Mikell and Allen Muldrew, members who are all on the ABC/Blue Mile steering committees, to get an update on their progress.
