Update 2026-02-22: Videos: 3 rezonings, 1 Utility Easement Termination, Orr Road Bids, Backup Generators for Pruitt Health Facilities @ LCC Regular 2026-02-10.

Two weeks ago at their Work Session, the Lowndes County Commissioners talked much about the 7.b. Consideration of Bids for Installation of Emergency Backup Generators for Pruitt Healthcare. The county is merely passing through that $1,470,216.00. Chairman Bill Slaughter says the opportunity was offered to all nursing homes in Lowndes County, but only Pruitt Healthcare took it up.

They also talked about fences for 5.c. REZ-2026-03 Villanueva Property, 6201 Union Rd, 6ac, E-A to C-G.

And they said a few words about the $477,896.15 to Reames & Son Construction from TSPLOST for 7.a. PI #0016273, Transportation Investment Act (TIA) Orr Road Bids.
