Update 2025-08-12: Videos: Proclamations, 2 small rezonings, Comprehensive Plan, USGS Gauges, GDOT for Shiloh Road, Civic Center Hurricane Repair @ LCC Work 2025-08-11.

Lowndes County will hold a 2026 Comprehensive Plan Kickoff on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. According to SGRC, it will be at the beginning of the County Commission meeting. So apparently it’s the Public Hearing in the Tuesday Commission meeting.

USGS is charging more for the gauges at Folsom Bridge on the Little River and Skipper Bridge on the Withlacoochee River.

The Air Force is going to move the emergency backup Lowndes County water connection to Moody AFB, due to “unforseen conflicts after construction began,” apparently with the railroad and the “electric duct bank.”

The two small rezonings that sailed through the Planning Commission are on this County Commission agenda.

GDOT wants an easement at the Parrott Health Clinic in Hahira. GDOT has agreed to supply more TIA money for Shiloh Road Resurfacing and Bridge Replacement, and there are bids to approve.

There are bids for the Lowndes County Civic Center Hurricane Helene Repairs.

Here is the agenda.

The board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is on the LAKE website.

See also the LAKE videos of the preceding Planning Commission meeting.
