Port Wentworth extends moratorium on residential development, unveils budget
On June 18, the Port Wentworth City Council approved a six-month extension of its moratorium on rezoning property to residential classifications, with city officials citing continued rapid growth, available housing inventory and the need to ensure infrastructure and public services keep pace with development. City officials said Port Wentworth’s population grew by about 2,700 residents, more than 18%, over the past year. Port Wentworth officials also took the first step toward adopting a fiscal year 2027 budget, proposing no increase to the city’s property tax rate while adding public safety positions and funding major infrastructure projects to accommodate continued growth. Budget hearings are scheduled for June 25 before the council considers final adoption of the spending plan.
