City approves purchase of equipment
Hinesville City Hall
Hinesville City Hall is seat of municipal government here.

During Thursday's regular city council meeting, City Manager Kenneth Howard said the county and the city were considering a curfew. However, the county and city can no longer implement any curfew since the governor's executive order supersedes their power to do so.


Howard also urged anyone homeless who needs help to call 912-876-6573. City Hall is closed so they need to call and set an appointment for the intake process. They would need to prove they’re homeless to get help from the city, Howard said.
