The City received an annexation petition for four parcels with an aggregate of 278.16 acres located off Little Neck Road near Ogeechee Road. The land under petition is contiguous to existing City territory and, therefore, can be annexed by ordinance adopted by City Council. As required by State law, the County has been informed of receipt of this petition. 

The owner desires to annex into Savannah to access municipal services and utilities at inside city rates. The petitioner intends to develop a mixed-use project at the corner of U.S. Highway 17 and Little Neck Road, which will include ±100 acres of open amenity space, ±4 acres of County Canal land and ±60 acres of protected salt marsh. The ±30 acres along U.S. Highway 17 will feature approximately 275,000 square feet of walkable, village-style commercial/retail uses. Supporting these commercial uses will be ±15 acres of senior housing and ±45 acres of multifamily residential uses. The remaining ±8 acres located along Little Neck Road will consist of approximately 55,000 square feet of convenience and destination type commercial/retail uses. The entire mixed-use development will be interconnected with internal roads containing roundabouts and sidewalks to provide pedestrian-friendly access and walkability among all of the uses to ensure a cohesive and truly functional mixed-use development.
