Mayor Thompson is finishing his first term and has been re-elected. Many would agree that his first term was a success for the City of Brunswick. As Mayor Thompson begins to plan for his second term, Coastal Housing Today has asked him to answer the question: “Why live in Brunswick?”

Mayor Thompson: “I choose to live in Brunswick because the people here are friendly. The housing is full of character, with a wide-range of pricing options. The City of Brunswick also provides a variety of housing options and opportunities.”
CHT: “What are the key housing issues for the City?”
Mayor: “The City is working hard to create affordable housing options to help create even safer and cleaner neighborhoods for all residents. We are all working hard to offer programs to encourage living within the City limits. The city has been taking action to improve neighborhoods; from lighting along Norwich Street, to removing vacant, blighted structures and encouraging homeownership.”
CHT: “So, what is the City doing to encourage people to live in the City.”
Mayor: “The City is focusing on creating housing, family-friendly neighborhoods, and jobs to create opportunities for residents to live, work and play in the city. It is important that we all work together for a better community.”
CHT: “What are some of the things that you want City residents to know about?”
Mayor: “The City has a number of great, hometown activities including the Christmas parade, with over 90 entries, the Fourth of July celebration, concerts at Mary Ross Park, the Brunswick
Stewbilee, First Fridays on Newcastle and a full schedule of performances and events at the Ritz Theater.”
CHT: “What do you see as some of the key assets in the City?”
Mayor: “A great health system, a new four-year college, Coastal College of Georgia, a vibrant National Register District, expanding port facilities and many wonderful shops and restaurants.”
CHT: “Is there anything else you want residents or those looking for a home to know about the City of Brunswick?”
Mayor: “The city offers a wide range of housing opportunities and now is the time to buy.”
