The Lowndes County Commission took 23 minutes for its Regular Session, Tuesday evening, May 26, 2026.

Eleven minutes of that was Citizens Wishing to Be Heard. A minute and a half was Order, Invocation, Pledge, and Leadership Lowndes. And six and a half minutes for the County Manager Report.

So four minutes for the voting items, which all passed unanimously.

The two Citizens Wishing to Be Heard both spoke against datacenters: Jimmy LeFiles about chemical safety and George Fisher about aquifer recharge.

The County Manager reported among other things that the governor has lifted the state burn ban, which affects non-residential areas of Lowndes County. The county’s own burn ban, which affects residential areas, is still on, but may be lifted next week.
