CITY OF SAVANNAH NEWS RELEASE:

The City of Savannah invites family members with loved ones buried in Evergreen Cemetery, as well as others interested in the upkeep of the westside cemetery, to a special meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Liberty City Community Center, 1401 Mills B. Lane.

The City of Savannah and the Savannah Impact Program spent a week in September clearing the overgrown property after repeated attempts were unsuccessful in contacting the owner to force compliance.

The goal of the Oct. 9 meeting is to begin the process to help family members come up with a plan for ongoing maintenance of Evergreen Cemetery. Because the City does not have access to burial records, we have an incomplete list of family members, so are asking the media for help in publicizing the meeting.

For more information, contact the Public Information Office at 651-6410.
