Update to an earlier report: This article includes new information about a story we previously covered. Read our earlier report.

The Housing Authority of Savannah can begin negotiating a master development agreement for Yamacraw Village after its board approved Gorman and Company, LLC as the redevelopment’s master development partner.

The board approved the selection by vote and adopted Resolution No. 11-26-02 at its Nov. 10 meeting. The partner selection is not final approval of a redevelopment plan, financing or an agreement.

The selection process started in January 2026 and drew 14 submissions from development firms. A committee reviewed and scored the proposals before recommending Gorman and Company.

Any proposed master development agreement must go to the Board of Commissioners for review and approval before work begins.
