Last week, the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Savannah-Chatham Day in Atlanta. The event began with a legislative listening session, where attendees received updates from several statewide commissioners, including Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols, Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Christopher Nunn, Department of Insurance Commissioner John King, and Georgia Department of Transportation Board Chair Ann Purcell, along with Deputy Chief Engineer Andrew Heath. Additionally, attendees had the unique opportunity to hear a briefing on the status of Fort Stewart/Hunter Army Airfield from Major General Christopher Norrie, Commander of the 3rd Infantry Division.

Following the listening session, guests gathered at the Georgia Freight Depot for the highly anticipated Savannah-Chatham Day Legislative Oyster Roast. More than 800 attendees enjoyed a Savannah-style oyster roast, and Low Country boil, solidifying Savannah-Chatham Day as one of the most sought-after ticketed events of the legislative season.
