A Sneak Peak of Savannah’s Ellis Square

It’s been a long time coming…
Tonight the renovation of Ellis Square is just days away from completion…
The area was originally a market… In the 50s a parking garage was built in the downtown square and was dubbed an eyesore.
Decades later in 2005—close to twenty-nine million dollars was dedicated to fix the square.
Not only did they tear down the old parking garage but they built an underground garage and on top of the garage, a park.
“3 on your side” Community Reporter Alice Massimi explains why this is such an exciting week for downtown.
