At the request of Savannah City Manager Michael Brown, the city council voted to again delay its vote regarding the Weeping Time property at its regular meeting on Thursday afternoon.
The Salvation Army of Savannah has proposed to build a transitional shelter at 2305 Augusta Ave. near the Weeping Time property. After receiving approval from the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission in November, the Salvation Army is still awaiting the city council s approval of a special use permit before the project can move forward.
The Salvation Army is sensitive to the historical significance of the area and is willing to work with the city to honor that history, officials have said.
