Savannah, Georgia, is Best Place to Retire

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the beloved city of Savannah, which has been recognized as one of the best places to retire in the United States by HGTV.

Since I have been a resident of Georgia's First District my whole life, I know that it is the best place to live and retire, but it is nice to see Savannah receiving the national recognition it deserves.

Affordability plays a pivotal role in the city earning this distinction, with the cost of living notably below the national average, as well as the absence of estate taxes.

Other key factors that contributed to the city's rankings include its delightful weather, tax-friendly area, and convenient and accessible transportation.

Our historic city squares, riverfront dining, musical and artistic amenities, and southern charm make it the perfect place to live and retire.

I have done that all my life and intend to retire there, as well.
