the project, but cannot proceed until a

David Lucas from Sterne Agee
Financial Services in Macon, was at
the meeting to discuss how the Com

discuss the steps we should take to
secure long term debt. Now he will
have to return in two weeks," Morgan
said.

wick is invited to attend and deliver
their concerns about the jail expansion
to Commissioners Clark and Lynn.
Admission is free and lunch is includ
ed.
CBCB plans for this forum to be
the first event in an ongoing effort to
address the diverse issues that impact
the city of Brunswick and improve
communication between Brunswick
residents and the Glynn County Com
mission.
The Citizens and Businesses of the
City of Brunswick was organized by
city residents and business owners who
oppose Glynn County’s plans to expand
the county jail at its downtown Bruns
wick location. While the group agrees
on the need to expand the jail’s capac
ity, members believe the expansion
should occur outside the downtown
area, while continuing to use the exist
ing downtown facility.
“Jail expansion in downtown Bruns
wick could damage our city and our
economy beyond repair,” said CBCB
organizer Mabry Brumbach. “The City
of Brunswick has a plan for growth
and betterment that will benefit all
of us, but we believe that if the jail is
expanded in downtown, that growth
would come to an end, crime could
rise, and property values decrease. The
County has other options; let’s show
the Commissioners that we care about
our city and we want to protect it.”
