Maybe ask the company that adopted Clay Road? Response yesterday from the EMA Lowndes facebook page:
Hi, as a point of clarification emergency personnel responded to reports of an odor; however, after thorough investigation no evidence of a chemical leak or release could be identified or confirmed. As a precaution, the Board of Education property was accessed by responders. No evidence of contamination was present. A follow up visit to the area later this morning reports the odor was no longer present.
Thank you, EMA Lowndes, for responding, and on a weekend, too.
However, people couldn’t get home that night.

I still think it would be good to check with nearby industry. Maybe start with Continue reading

Three small rezonings in Valdosta and Lake Park, plus a 44.97 acre office rezoning by Arrow Engineering in Lowndes County: this could be one of the briefest and least contentious Planning Commission meetings ever.

They vote today at 5:30 PM.
At yeasterday morning’s Work Session,
Commissioner Scottie Orenstein, the current Vice Chair, presided in the absence of the Chair.
Chairman Bill Slaughter was in Atlanta on his way to D.C.
The Vice Chair said what they were not going to cover until the Regular Session,

Also at the end he mentioned Citizens Wishing to be Heard is in the Tuesday evening meeting.
Below are links to each LAKE video, with a very few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the agenda and the notes I put in that previous post. Continue reading
To replace Molly Stoltz on KLVB (she moved), they will appoint either Adam Floyd or Kyle Rudrow, discussing Monday morning and voting Tuesday evening.
Years ago I tried to explain to people on Stafford Wright Road that if the county ever paved that road, it wouldn’t be for the current residents. Now it’s getting a water main with paving. The county only ever runs water to places it plans to have subdivisions. Enjoy your quiet country road while you can, old-time residents. You’re about to be displaced for an expansion of “Central Lowndes County” west of Skipper Bridge Road and north of Cherry Creek.
Lowndes County has been approved for a GEFA Loan Agreement submitted in December 2016, for upgrades at the Land Application Site (LAS) and lift stations. It’s not clear whether that includes the purchase of Continue reading
By far the most time, almost eight minutes, on
6b. Abandonment of Portions of Old Lake Park Road and Hickory Grove Road SE,
the Lowndes County Commissioners spent two weeks ago,
involving reference to minutes they approved in that meeting
but that still aren’t on the county’s website two weeks later,
and resulting in a split vote.
More interesting: the county is finally starting construction on the Naylor Boat Ramp.
By their customary silent “acclamation” they appointed people to the Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority.
Below are Continue reading
