Forever Tybee invites you to a Potluck & Program featuring speakers who will break down parts of the proposed ordinances to address short-term rentals in Tybee's residential zones.

The goal is to answer your questions about exactly what the City Council is considering (or not considering) about managing short-term rentals in our residential neighborhoods so you can decide what is best for you - and what you may want to recommend for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider.

This event is free and open to the public. Please bring a dish to share.

For planning purposes, we kindly ask that you RSVP to forevertybee@gmail.com.
