Statesboro's proposed Tax Allocation District is not restricted to South Main Street. The district, which will be up for approval Dec. 16 before Statesboro City Council, extends tendrils along rights of way to now-vacant Gentilly Square storefronts, the bypass at U.S. Highway 301 South and other areas. Roots might be a better metaphor, as the purpose is to draw nourishment from future tax growth in these outlying areas.
