The Coastal YMCA and Healthy Savannah are working together to implement the R.E.A.C.H Grant or Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health provided by the CDC to help lift up communities of color.
Armand Turner, the Physical Activity Program Manager for Healthy Savannah, is leading the effort to encourage physical activity in the community.
He said that the first step to promoting more activity in the community is creating safer pedestrian and bike zones.
