So one of my main issues with Statesboro is the city's lack of interest in neighborhood preservation. Many of the older neighborhoods surrounding the dowtown area are rich with culture, particularly African American culture, and the vernacular homes are priceless. Larger cities such as Augusta and Macon are currently working to preserve such neighborhoods. The city of Augusta and the city's historic preservation division, http://www.augustaga.gov/departments/planning_zoning/hist_prev_about.asp, are setting wonderful examples for smaller towns to emulate. Historic Augusta, Inc, http://www.historicaugusta.org/, is another partner organization that has worked to preserve communities surrounding the heart of the city, largely focusing on saving African America neighborhoods, such as Bethlehem and the Laney-Walker District. I think this is a very important aspect of Bullochy County's history that currently seems to be largely overlooked. I know Bulloch County has a historical society, but I was unable to find a website for them.
