Building a Vibrant Bulloch: Community Events Uniting Residents and Shaping the Future
The future of Bulloch County lies in the hands of its people, and their voices are more important than ever in shaping that future. Recently, Georgia Southern University’s Institute for Vibrant and Engaged Communities (IVEC) launched an inspiring initiative aimed at fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration among residents. Their series, "Building a Vibrant Bulloch: Uniting for Our Community's Future," kicked off with its first event in Brooklet, and it was an overwhelming success.
The goal of these Community Conversations is simple yet powerful—bringing together local residents, nonprofit organizations, and government officials to openly discuss the county’s most pressing needs. At the heart of this initiative is a focus on sustainable growth, economic development, affordable housing, and other key issues impacting Bulloch County. By encouraging a space for open dialogue, the IVEC is helping to create a pathway where everyone can contribute toward building a thriving, resilient community.
At the Brooklet event, residents gathered to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the future of their county. The atmosphere was filled with energy and constructive conversation, addressing both the opportunities and challenges the community faces. Participants like Michelle Wilson emphasized the importance of bringing people together to have productive, logical discussions. For many, the event was a reminder that while growth is necessary, it is equally important to maintain the small-town charm that makes Bulloch unique.

Leaders such as Dr. Candice Bodkin, Co-Director of IVEC, expressed enthusiasm about providing a platform where community members can shape the future. Meanwhile, residents like JoAnn Hickman shared their hopes for a future where their children can grow up in a town that offers more opportunities, while still preserving its welcoming environment.
The first event also drew the attention of local leadership. Leonard Fatica, a candidate for the Bulloch County Commission, echoed the importance of working together as a community to tackle ongoing issues. He recognized that continued collaboration between city, county, and community members is crucial for overcoming challenges and driving positive change.
As these conversations continue, the focus remains on community-driven solutions that will ensure Bulloch County’s growth is both inclusive and sustainable. Attendees at the event were not just addressing concerns but also discussing their aspirations for a better future. The dialogue fostered at these gatherings is critical in guiding the decisions that will shape Bulloch County for generations to come.
The success of the Brooklet event sets the tone for the two remaining sessions in Statesboro and Portal. These conversations provide an invaluable opportunity for all residents to participate and share their views on the future of their community. The events are a reminder that unity and collaboration can lead to a more vibrant, resilient Bulloch County—one where everyone can thrive.
For anyone invested in the future of Bulloch, now is the time to join the conversation and help build a brighter tomorrow. By coming together, the community has the power to shape the future it envisions.
