JOIN US THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026: A community conversation about housing, growth, and development in Savannah

Why don’t we have a Trader Joe’s? Or a Topgolf?  Or a Cheesecake Factory? Or some of the other businesses we see in cities not that different from Savannah? 

It’s something people here ask all the time. The answer isn’t about one company choosing not to come here. It’s about housing, growth, and the realities shaping Coastal Georgia right now.

As our region continues to grow, we’re feeling it in real time. Rising rents. Limited housing supply. Long development timelines. And a ripple effect that impacts everything from where people can live to what kinds of businesses choose to invest here.

Join The Current GA for a FREE, public community conversation focused on how housing and development actually work and why they affect so many of the questions we’re all asking.

This is not a lecture. It’s a chance to hear from local experts and community voices, ask questions, and better understand what’s driving change in Savannah and across Coastal Georgia.

RSVP TO CURRENT CONVERSATIONS HERE
This event is part of The Current GA’s Bridging Perspectives series, supported by Report for America, bringing people together for thoughtful, informed conversations around important local issues.
