The mayor along with the city council work with Pooler government staff to keep it a safe and desirable place to live, work and play. To another lifelong resident, Dana Noto, the city’s transition has been extraordinary. “I live and work in Pooler, and the luxury of being able to take care of all of my family’s needs without leaving town was unfathomable just a few short years ago.” “From groceries to retail to medical care, it’s all here.
