Sept. 22, 2025 – Victory Drive occupies a unique place in both in the history and geography of Savannah. Originally known as Estill Avenue, the important east-west corridor today is both a city street and a U.S. highway and has been the subject of studies and proposals over the years to balance its roles as both a neighborhood street lined with architecturally significant structures and a major thoroughfare from the west side of Savannah to Tybee Island.
Massie Heritage Center invites you to a panel discussion with three citizens who have been involved with ongoing discussions about the future Victory Drive. Panelists include:
- City of Savannah District Four Alderman Nick Palumbo
- Congress for the New Urbanism Director of Engagement, Brent Buice
- Heathy Savannah Director, Armand Turner
- Symbioscity Urban Planning, Denise Grabowski
The discussion will be moderated by Dr. John R. Bennett, assistant professor of public administration in the Department of Political Science and Public Affairs at Savannah State University.
- DATE: Thursday, Sept. 25, 2025
- PLACE: Massie Heritage Center, 207 East Gordon St., 31401
- TIME: Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Program begins at 7 p.m.
