Guided by a steadfast dedication to strengthening its hometown communities, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is funding new public safety and crime deterrence enhancements for Savannah’s historic Forsyth Park.
Through the SCAD SERVE initiative, the university is investing more than $200,000 to purchase, install, and maintain state-of-the-art cameras.
