The Blue Mile plan for revitalization of South Main Street isn’t just about gateway columns, a dog park or a statue of early 20th century “Statesboro Blues” musician Blind Willie McTell seated on a bench. Volunteers have reached out to residents of neighborhoods within a few blocks of South Main with a survey to identify priorities, such as public transportation and removal of abandoned houses, and a community meeting is planned. Meanwhile, Blue Mile Committee members talked with Georgia Department of Transportation officials this week about proposed changes along the U.S. Highway 301 right of way.
