Editor: As we approach the runoff election for the mayor of Statesboro, I find myself as a local business owner in a common situation with many other local business owners. I chose to locate my business in the heart of Statesboro because I wanted to invest in downtown and be a part of the vibrant growth that is happening both there and citywide. Over the past several weeks, I have given this more thought and noticed that most of the businesses in the city are owned by people that live outside of the city limits.
