Two Georgia cities are getting special state grants for land conservation.
Tybee Island is getting a $206,000 Georgia Land Conservation Grant. Chickamauga is getting a $365,000 grant and an $875,000 low-interest land conservation loan.
Tybee Island will use the money to buy 14 acres on the north end of the island that are mostly salt marsh wetlands and maritime stand forest habitats. Chickamauga will use the money to protect the Gordon Lee mansion and grounds that date to the 1840’s.
