It makes a statement, even in a city like Savannah, with its supercharged wow factor. If you think you've moved for the last time, visit Starland with caution. You'll be tempted to pull up stakes.”

Have you taken the new hotel development survey yet? No? Well you have until the end of the day on Thursday! We’ve had a GREAT response, but we want MORE. Some people started it, and didn’t finish. So check on that and finish your submission if you haven’t yet. If you already did it, then recruit at least one more person to also fill it out - this is important! Share this post and help get out the word. We have about 500 total responses so far but would love to hear from more of our neighbors. You’ll find the link to take the survey in our bio.

Neighbors, This is it! As promised, the new survey on hotel development has arrived. You will find a link to the survey in our bio. Please complete it promptly (it should take less than 5 minutes) and THEN forward it to more people (or share a link to the survey on your social media accounts). Preferably, to fellow residents of our neighborhood, or nearby neighborhoods, but we are opening this survey to all members of our community. The more responses we get, the better. If you have questions, please post them in the comments so that all of us may benefit from the discussion as a group. This survey will be open through the end of February. Thank you for your time and participation! This is very important to the future of our neighborhoods!
Sincerely,
Thomas Square Neighborhood Association Board of Directors
