The City of Savan nah’s Brownfield program is funded through a $1 million Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grant, which was awarded to the City in June 2023.

Board members will be asked to commit to a two- year term, during which they will attend quarterly board meetings; review applications for site assessments, reuse planning, and cleanup loans; provide recommendations as to which sites the program should fund; and conduct eight hours of community engagement per quarter, including speaking at community meetings, passing out literature, and talking with neighbors to collect commu nity input and keep residents informed of Brownfield work happening in their neighbor hood. To serve on the board, applicants must be at least 18 years of age; be a res ident of the City of Savannah; and live in a grant focus area, which includes Hudson Hill, West Savannah, Woodville be tween 37th and Victory Dr., or between Habersham and Penn sylvania.

STEP ONE AUTO Presents Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy Local Hero Award During 37th Grab-n-Go Meals Citizen Advocacy Executive Director George Seaborough and Weslyn “Mahogany” Bowers Step One Automotive Group will present their Local Hero Award to Chatham-Sa vannah Citizen Advocacy during their 37th Grab-n-Go Meals for veterans and first re sponders. The monthly awards event was held Thursday, March 28th at the Step One Auto North Savannah Store located at 1011 Chatham Park way, Savannah GA 31401. “Since April 2020, Step One Grab and Go Meals for Local Heroes has been ded icated to bringing our commu nity together, showing appre ciation and supporting local businesses. Together with Sa vannah Food Truck force we served 3,500 delicious meals to first responders, military, veterans, and medical workers and honored sixteen incredible individuals and organizations. From veterans, police officers, EMS, medical workers, SWAT team members, single moms, cancer survivors, social work ers, and volunteers, we put a spotlight on the dedicated giv ers in our community,’’ shares Step One Automotive Group Marketing Manager Weslyn “Mahogany’’ Bowers. “I choose Chatham Savannah Citizen Advocacy because they have continued to support and match adults with disabilities with good meaning adults who will advocate for them to have a better quality of life. These matches often become the start of a lifelong friendship,’’ adds Bowers. “We will have community partner Sweet Spice food truck onsite serving fresh authentic Jamai can cuisine.’’ “As a local non-profit serving the Chatham County area for the past 45 years, we are dedicated to find advocates for people with developmental disabilities. From a five month old to a 66 year old senior in a nursing home, advocates have found ways to understand, rep resent and respond to the needs and desires of the persons they are matched with. Donations from community partners like Step One Auto help with our operational expenses and al low people to meet others that they may not normally have the chance to meet,’’ shares Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy Executive Director George Seaborough.
