Broe Real Estate Group (BREG), developer of Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub, has donated $50,000 to Effingham County Schools as part of an annual pledge to invest in local public education. The donation supports educational development from Effingham elementary to Effingham’s College and Career Academy, providing critical funding for the public institutions that engage learners for future success. The donation was made at the January Effingham County School Board Meeting, attended by board members and leaders from Effingham County Development Authority (ECIDA), Creekside Elementary, and Effingham College and Career Academy.   

“We are proud to support public education and invest in the future of our community,” said BREG Vice President Scott Rogers. “As Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub grows with our community, Broe Real Estate Group is committed to supporting the institutions that serve Effingham County.”

Since its opening in 2021, Savannah Gateway has brought new jobs and new investment to Effingham County, strengthening the local economy and infrastructure. 

“Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub is an important economic catalyst for Effingham County,” said ECIDA CEO Brandt Herndon. “As we work together to bring new jobs and new investment into the region, we are thankful for the generosity of our development partners like Broe Real Estate Group that continue to reinvest in our community.”

Led by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Yancy Ford, Effingham County School District provides the educational programs across the learning spectrum that shape generations of the county’s vital workforce.  

“Our public schools are the cornerstone of our community,” said Dr. Yancy Ford. “Support from community partners like Broe Real Estate Group helps us build tomorrow’s leaders and helps us serve our mission. We are very grateful for their commitment to local education.”

BREG’s 2025 donation will support educational programs at Effingham’s newest elementary school, Creekside Elementary School, and Effingham College and Career Academy’s Logistics Program.
