TIFTON — The City of Tifton will be having a council retreat Sunday, June 24 at the Andaz Savannah Hotel in Savannah, according to a press release from the city.

The city council will be in Savannah for the Georgia Municipal Association conference from June 22 until June 25.

According to the agenda released by the city, the council will be discussing the Economic Development Department and service delivery topics and timelines.
