THE DIGEST
River Street’s $60 Million Transformation Is Officially Moving Forward

Savannah’s vision for the future of River Street just reached a major milestone.

City Council has officially approved the River Street Vision Plan, clearing the way for a long term redevelopment of one of Savannah’s most recognizable destinations. The plan outlines 48 improvement projects across the 12 acre waterfront district, with the goal of creating a riverfront that can compete with some of the world’s premier waterfront destinations while preserving the area’s historic character.
