SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTGS FOX 28) — Savannah City Council and the developer for the old Seaboard Freight Station site struck a deal at Thursday's council meeting.

The land's developer, WEDP, will save the front section of the terminal.

“What we would like to do is relocate what we call the head house. That’s the part that’s historically been used as an office," said one of the attorney's for WEDP.

WEDP said they're going to move that section, which is around 2,500 square-feet, to the Northeast corner of the property.
