They unanimously denied the controversial rezoning, 5.a. REZ-2024-06 Budd Horace Ave, 1735 Madison Hwy, ~3.0ac, CON – C-H. The Lowndes County Commissioners approved the other rezoning, and everythig else, at their Regular Session, Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
In 8. Reports – County Manager, County Attorney Walter Elliott said the county is required by state law to initiate the Service Delivery Strategies (SDS) process. If I heard him correctly, they already did back in April. We already knew the county intends to stick with the current SDS.

6.a. Pet Shop Ordinance

https://youtu.be/X7LCBR3zPnoI might like it better if the county had a first and second readings of the ordinances before they were adopted.
I’d like it even more if they would have a public hearing to get input on ordinances from the general public, and not just those \
