I am new to this community but a life-long resident of Statesboro. I have many relatives and friends who live here in in surrounding areas. We are mainly socially held together through our fellowship in various churches. Personally, I feel that ours is a very close-knit faith community. From this area we have access to a hospital, various shopping areas and services, a local mall, and GSU. This is a good place to live. I feel that our districts are good as they are. Our present districts give us hope for the future as we see ourselves voting for people who have our best interest at heart.
This community is located in a historically farming area. For many years people sharecropped, or worked as hired hands for local landowners. Now the area has taken on an urban flavor as it has developments with a diversity of people. However, the cottonfields still line the landscape, but nobody picks it anymore.
Economically, there are many jobs for anyone who is seeking employment. But the wages are still below national standards. We have the colleges that provide great educations. But as soon as local people graduate, they head for areas that offer better opportunities.
Something needs to be done that will attract bigger business that offers better paying salaries to the area. Also there is always a need for more services that will make the lives of senior citizens better. There is also a need for a transportation system that will connect the rural with the urban areas.
