Act NOW to save Savannah’s Archaeological Sites!

A. *QUICK!*Complete the City of Savannah Survey by **deadline (Oct. 15, 2019).

B. Email your alderman/alderwoman (see email addresses below) and express support for an archaeology ordinance that covers all properties, not just city-owned ones. (5-10 minutes of your time)
C. Attend second meeting on Oct. 24, 2019 and show support for above. (Coastal Georgia Center, 305 Fahm St., Savannah, GA 31401, 6 pm) (1 hour of your time)
