The City of Tybee Island, Georgia, is extremely pleased to announce the designation of Tybee Island as a Better Home Town Community under the Georgia Main Street Program. 

A statement from the Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs noted, “The state Main Street program is delighted to welcome Tybee Island into our program. The city has demonstrated that they understand Main Street principles, and their board and volunteers are doing an outstanding job in supporting small businesses and job creation in the community.”

Tybee Mayor Jason Buelterman was enthusiastic about achieving Better Home Town status. “This is a wonderful distinction for our community and a testament to the hard work and dedication of many Tybee volunteers and City staff members. We look forward to continuing our work as we strive to become a more favorable climate in which to live and operate businesses.”  “I am extremely proud to have the opportunity to work with the City of Tybee, business owners and residents who have joined together to make becoming a Better Hometown Community a reality,” Ms. Morton said after receiving notification of acceptance. “The volunteer attitude on the Island is truly amazing, and the efforts to work as a team continue to prove successful! Receiving the designation is validation of the work by many to maintain the quality of life through a healthy business corridor and to enhance the cultural experience while preserving this barrier island’s heritage.”

Congratulations to Chantel Morton, our Better Hometown Coordinator, to Jonathan Lynn, director of Tybee’s Economic Development Department, to the Better Hometown Board of Directors, and to Mayor, Council, staff, and volunteers – we all knew already that Tybee is a Better Home Town!
