General Overview and Background
The community indicators project unfolded over a period of several years. In 2007, a strategic planning initiative among community leaders led to a general survey of the population in 2008. These efforts were undertaken to identify significant issues of importance to community stakeholders in Chatham County and the City of Savannah. Through late 2009 and into 2010, the project developed and grew into the site you are about to explore. The Savannah::Chatham Community Indicators project is meant to serve as an informational tool that can be used to monitor progress on matters of importance to the well-being of the community.
