In the County Manager Report there is this item: David Crawford – Partnership Health Center (Work Session).

Since Lowndes County does not post video of its Work Sessions, you’ll either need to be there Monday morning at 8:30 AM, or watch it later in the LAKE videos.

This contentious rezoning will be decided after a Public Hearing: REZ-2026-15 Mardun Ventures, LLC, 6434 Lake Alapaha Blvd, ~10.7ac, R-21 to E-A, County Water & Septic.

The big dollar item I believe comes from state money, i.e., your state taxes, or is it T-SPLOST, also your taxes?
