Reporter, Growth & Development

Savannah and Chatham County are among the fastest growing areas in Georgia, as the population centers continue to expand. Residential and business growth have made the coastal Georgia area a hotbed for real estate, tourism-related businesses and corporate development. The Savannah Morning News strives to be the first to inform readers with breaking news and analysis related to our growth. This is more than a business beat. The right candidate will be able to spot trends, connect dots and tell bigger stories about how the economic engines of this region are impacting Savannah and its residents. This reporter is expected to file public records requests and mine data for enterprise stories. This reporter also works closely with our city and county government reporters for story tips and ideas. We want this reporter to also explore issues related to affordable housing, public transportation, racial equity and neighborhood sustainability.
