🌱 Food Policy Council Proposed + Netflix Film Shooting In Savannah

Hello again, everybody! It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Savannah Daily. Let's get this day started off right, with a quick review of the most important things going on these days in town...

First, today's weather:

Humid with a thunderstorm. High: 84 Low: 73.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Savannah who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Savannah Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Savannah:

1. Healthy Savannah is considering bringing back a Savannah food policy council. The proposal is an effort to analyze the city and county's food insecurity issues. According to Healthy Savannah, 1 in 6 children in the state is food insecure. The food policy council will reportedly be able to proactively fight food insecurity in Savannah and Chatham County.

2. A new Netflix movie is in production across the Savannah area. The movie stars Chris Evans and Emily Blunt. The production was shooting scenes at Ogeechee Road's Traveler's Inn on Tuesday. Shooting will reportedly wrap up on Friday in Savannah. (WJCL)
3. Savannah's Ann Purcell, the Secretary of the State Transportation Board of Georgia, provided the Rotary Club of Savannah South with road project updates on Tuesday. According to Purcell, the widening project of I-16 from I-95 into Savannah won't be finished until the end of next year. The state's Department of Transportation is reportedly working on easing traffic in the new Hyundai Megasite in Bran County. Purcell urged anyone with safety concerns to reach out to the board.
