Savannah s brand is its historic character. There are of course numerous individuals and community organizations who regularly engage in various efforts to protect Savannah s historic integrity, but there are also a number of boards and commissions who do that work in an official capacity. It s easy to imagine a city commission as a panel of faceless bureaucrats twiddling their pens and shuffling papers, but at least for the board I ve served on for over seven years now, nothing could be further from the truth.
