The Salvation Army has served in Savannah for over 120 years in the hopes of caring for those with the greatest need. But now a few leaders with conflicting interests in the property where we hope to build a new Center of Hope are portraying us as an uncaring organization, intent on ruining a neighborhood and besmirching the memory of the Weeping Time slave auction.
Let’s please put these untruths to bed so we can continue to do the most good.
First, the property that The Salvation Army has under contract on Augusta Avenue is not “in the middle of a neighborhood” nor is it “next to a school” as has been stated. The property is zoned B-C (Community Business) and is bounded on the south and west by I-L (Light Industrial) properties; on the north by B-C property; and on the east by Lynes Parkway. The nearest home is east along Augusta Avenue, past Lynes Parkway bridge, over 500 feet away. The nearest school is on the other side of Lynes Parkway.
