SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The City of Savannah needs your voice! A new initiative called 'Savannah GPS' is placing residents in charge of the future. This will affect the city's future to improve safety, economic growth, and quality of life.
City leaders are rolling out 'Savannah GPS' – a bold new effort to map out the city's future - and they're turning residents for directions. From online surveys to community meetings – this is your chance to help shape the future of our city.
'Savannah GPS' is a new strategic planning initiative designed to guide the city's future.
It focuses on 6 key goals, such as public safety, community development, economic opportunity, and improving infrastructure.
