We are asking the City of Savannah to remove the Bay Street Viaduct area from the 1st District Alcohol Overlay.

This outdated restriction prevents businesses in the area from obtaining alcohol licenses, which limits growth, discourages investment, and holds back community development.

Removing the overlay will:

Support minority-owned and community-driven businesses

Encourage new business and job creation in a historically underserved area

Attract out-of-town investors, promoters, and entertainment groups

Increase tourism and foot traffic to the western edge of downtown

Promote arts, culture, and local talent through more concerts and events

Help revitalize a neglected corridor with unique charm and cultural value

Create more inclusive and equitable economic opportunities in Savannah
