Videos: Datacenter, paving, grants, breeding, health, 4 Board Appointments, 1 Alcohol, 1 Easement Exchange, 2 Solid Waste Franchises @ LCC Regular 2026-03-24

There was a somewhat startling citizen report about the possible future datacenter site at the Tuesday evening Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission.
See
other post for Tetiana Babcock.

The Commissioners breezed through all the voting items with unanimous approval.
Except Commissioner Joyce Evans did

ask if any applicants for the board appointments were present.
Travis Cox was present.
He had just been

appointed to ZBOA in place of John Hogan.
Also, John McCall was reappointed to ZBOA.
