Mayor Edna Jackson joined City employees on Rousakis Plaza Tuesday for the official kick off of the L.E.A.N.

Forty-four teams with 4 to 6 members each, are competing for prizes throughout an 8-week competition that runs through June 14. L.E.A.N.

The Challenge is co-sponsored by the City of Savannah, the YMCA of Coastal Georgia, Healthy Savannah and Cerner Health Wins. The L.E.A.N.
