📰 News we're reading
• Chatham Commissioner says he will not allow bridge over Savannah-Ogeechee Canal (wsav.com) — A proposed Pooler warehouse development that needs a bridge over the Savannah-Ogeechee Canal is facing strong resistance from a Chatham County commissioner, who says he will not allow a bridge on county-owned canal property. Pooler City Council previously approved a zoning change, but county control of the canal means the project’s access and traffic plans remain very uncertain for the area near Tom Triplett Park. 
• Chatham County DA warns Sheriff's Office cases may be dropped over weak evidence (wtoc.com) — A beating case tied to a Pooler gas station may see charges dropped after Chatham County’s district attorney warned the sheriff that some high-profile arrests lack enough evidence. The dispute raises questions about how Pooler-area cases are investigated, publicized on social media, and ultimately prosecuted, with defendants’ charges now under review for possible dismissal.
• JCB sets 406 mph land-speed record with hydrogen-powered car (wtoc.com) — A company with major manufacturing operations and its North American headquarters in Pooler just helped set a 406.3 mph land-speed record with a hydrogen-powered car at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. JCB says the breakthrough backs its plans to expand U.S. operations and develop hydrogen-powered construction equipment, reinforcing Pooler’s role in that growth.
