Downtown Savannah growth continues amid restaurant closures

Downtown Savannah is seeing a boom with new hotels, businesses, and major developments changing its landscape. This growth shows a strong investment in the city's future, but it's not all smooth sailing as some locally owned restaurants are closing, raising worries about the pressures on these businesses. The Recess Hotel near Ellis Square is nearly complete, adding to the city's vibrant transformation, but the closures hint at a tougher economic environment for smaller eateries. This shift underscores the delicate balance between urban development and community support.
