Nathan Deal’s office said Wayfair Inc. plans to build a new facility exceeding 1 million square feet in Savannah. About $45M is expected to be invested in the project over five years.

The company already has a warehouse and distribution center near Atlanta. ALABAMA Rosa Parks’ lawyer to speak at bus boycott commemoration MONTGOMERY — The lawyer who repre sented Rosa Parks after she was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man will speak at an event marking the 63rd anniver sary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Tuskegee attorney Fred Gray will speak at a commemoration planned for Monday night at First Baptist Church in Montgomery. The event is being sponsored by the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African- American Culture at Alabama State University. Gray represented Parks after she was arrested for violating racial segregation laws on Dec. 1, 1965. Her arrest sparked a yearlong bus boycott that helped to start the civil rights movement. The boycott was led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., then a young preacher in Montgomery Associated Press SPRINGFIELD - A true crime series filming near Georgia’s coast has drawn complaints from neighbors about vehicles speeding by their houses to reach the set. The county needs an ordinance regulat ing filming locations, Effingham County Commissioner Phil Kieffer said. Kieffer said he learned that “The Act” was filming when 14 building facades were set up for background scenes, and neighbors complained about the speeding, The Savanah Morning News reported. “Because Effingham County doesn’t have a process in place to directly permit and regulate film locations, they were only required to secure a building per mit for temporary structures that are in place,” Kieffer said. “They have been amenable to working around the com plaints from the neighbors, which has included hiring off-duty officers to help.” Kieffer said he typically is “hesitant to increase regulations on any private entity,” but, “I do think we need some thing in place for these situations so that county staff can ensure that area resi dents aren’t unduly burdened.” The crew held a low country boil for neighbors and has been responsive to their concerns, location manager Steve Yetman said. The filming began in early October and takes place five or six days a month, Yetman said. The work should be com pleted by the beginning of February, he said. One of the benefits of filming in Eff ingham is that the area can be used to portray locations in Louisiana, Missouri and Wisconsin, Yetman said. In addition to using the neighborhood set, the crew also filmed one day a few weeks ago at a convenience store on Ga. 21 in Rincon, Georgia. The show being filmed for Hulu follows Gypsy Blanchard, a girl trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her overprotective mother, the Savannah newspaper reported. GUNS ■ Continued from 1C GovDeals.corn’s 7.5 percent fee, the proceeds came to $383.88. “Our retention is based off of the outcome of the court. We typically will not dispose of any firearm until we have an order from the courts to do so,” Gainesville Police Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said. In the majority of cases where a gun is seized by law enforcement and the original owner is convicted, the guns are sold at auction. “If it’s a felony conviction where the offender may not legally own a firearm, the Sheriff’s Office would dispose of the gun under a court order by selling it at auction. If it’s a misdemeanor not involving the Family Violence Act, the offender may request their firearm(s) be returned to them,” Booth wrote in an email. In some rare cases, Scalia said the weapon may be put into use by the department. “If it was a high quality AR or a Glock that’s similar in make and model to what we’re carrying for issue weapons, we could put that into county use. ... It would have to pass a series of inspections by our quarter master in our training divi sion,” he said. The guns are turned over to the vendor for sales, and the majority of the proceeds return to the department. Booth said 10 percent will go the district attorney’s office, and the sheriff’s office’s remaining proceeds go to purchasing addi tional equipment. In a small percent of cases, the defendant and their family may be able to ask the court to have the firearm returned. “ It’s in the minority but by no means uncommon. It does hap pen occasionally where a fam ily member will take custody or possession of the weapon. It’s usually something they have to negotiate with the district attor ney,” Scalia said. One scenario Scalia gave would be a family heirloom found at the scene of an arrest that was unconnected to the drug trafficking of the con victed person. In addition to the 31 firearms placed into evidence, Gaines ville Police also put 35 firearms into safekeeping this year. “Items of safekeeping are returned to the owner. Most of these are situations such as the owner is involved in a motor vehicle crash, injured and transported to the hospital. We will take the firearm and place it into safekeeping until it can be returned to the owner,” Hol brook said. KITCHEN INSPECTIONS The following are among the food service establishments inspected from Nov.26-30 by the Hall County Environmental Health Department. Food service establishments are given a letter grade that coincides with a percentile: “A” (90-100), “B” (80-89), “C” (70-79), “U” 69 and below. Inspections (frequency of) a food service establishment are conducted based on risk categorization. The risk type is determined by the menu items served, the food preparation processed performed, and the previous food safety history in the food service establishment. A new food service establishment that has never served food must score 100 (A) to receive a food service permit to operate. When a restaurant changes ownership, a new food service permit must be issued. To be issued a permit for a change of ownership, the establishment must score a 95 (A) or above with all foodborne illness risk factors and public health interventions in compliance. Permits must be posted in public view at all times. Establishments with drive-thru windows will also be required to have the top one-third of a copy of the most current inspection report visible through each window allowing customers to easily read the score, date of inspection and establishment information, in addition to the copy posted inside the establishment. Copies of the rules are available at the Hall County Environmental health Office. The rules and regulations are also available online at dph.georgia.gov/ environmental-health-inspections. To register a complaint against a food service establishment, contact the Hall County Environmental Health Department at 770-531-3973.
