Savannah’s future safety and prosperity depends on safe and sound infrastructure, including access to the internet. Flooding is a part of life along coastal regions but the City of Savannah is committed to protecting residential and business structures and streets from its devastating impacts. Our City’s streets, sidewalks and facilities are a reflection of who we are and the pride we take in our community. They are also essential to helping residents travel to and from educational and employment opportunities. The City is committed to making these essential investments over time.
