Mayor Van R. Johnson, II, will hold a press conference on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 10 a.m. at City Hall to announce the formation of a Hispanic taskforce named Hispanic Outreach, Leadership and Advocacy (HOLA) Savannah.
HOLA Savannah will educate Savannah’s Hispanic community about the city government’s abilities, limitations, functions and services to build trust and involvement with Savannah’s Hispanic residents. The group’s goal is to ensure Savannah is a great place to live, work and play for the roughly 7,000 City of Savannah residents who identify as Hispanic or Latino.
Members of HOLA Savannah will join Mayor Johnson on Thursday.
