🕵️ The Gist: Residents in Savannah are getting unexpected mail and texts telling them to oppose the Talmadge Bridge project. No one knows yet who is behind it.
What’s Happening:
Residents are getting messages from names like “Hannah,” “Addison,” and “Jake.” These messages point them to a website called “A Bridge Too Far For Savannah.”
- The website says the $2 billion project isn’t clear and doesn’t ask for public input.
- It wants a closer look at how the project will affect West Savannah and the Canal District.
Between the Lines:
Local lawmakers are worried about the campaign’s secrecy.
- Representative Anne Allen Westbrook (D-163) and Representative Jesse Petrea (R-166) say it’s important for residents to be involved, but they question the campaign’s motives.
Catch Up Quick:
The Talmadge Bridge is a key transportation link and a symbol of Savannah’s growth.
- The bridge project aims to fix old problems and avoid displacing residents in West Savannah and the Canal District.
