This month LAKE didn’t get an agenda from GLPC, but they are meeting
tonight at 5:30 PM.
According to

the City of Valdosta’s calendar,

Greater Lowndes Planning Commission

Location:

Lowndes County South Health District Administrative Office

325 W. Savannah Avenue

Valdosta, Georgia 31601

The

Lowndes County Commission’s calendar
does not list this meeting;
it doesn’t list any Planning Commission meetings.
The county website also has no description of GLPC that I can find.
It does get a mention three levels deep, under

Planning.

Valdosta’s

description page for GLPC has the information appended below.
