Editor: At the next Council meeting (July 30, 9 a.m.), there is a chance the City of Statesboro will say "no" to residential neighborhoods and "yes" to those who seek to commercialize them. This is the issue: a developer wants to build a convenience store and a gas station on three lots in Pittman Park. Two lots contain residences that face Catherine Avenue and the third is a piece of residential property on Herty Drive on which the owner has never built a home.
Reader urges council to bar Pittman Park gas station
