SBJ Staff Report

The 10-year plus plan to address Southside traffic and economic development of DeRenne Avenue takes another step forward this week.

Members of the Savannah City Council will join with DeRenne Avenue residents and business owners at 9 a.m on Tuesday, Aug. 24 for a ribbon cutting to open the new Project DeRenne Resource Center. 

The center will provide stakeholders with a convenient location to view corridor plans and meet with City staff to provide input and discuss challenges and concerns connected with the project.

Citizen advisors and a national consulting firm have worked for several years to research traffic patterns, potential solutions and provide access to business owners in the region, as well as local residents. 

A plan has been developed that is entering the final stages, which will be presented at the Resource Center.
