Flood map funding on Valdosta agennda @ VCC 2016-08-11

It’s Valdosta’s turn, after

Lowndes County approved up to $40,000,
tomorrow (Thursday 11 Aug 2016),
it’s on the

Valdosta City Council agenda


for the city to approve a similar amount,
adding up to matching what USGS is willing to supply.
It was Valdosta’s idea in the first place, and maybe this
interactive flood map for a small part of the Withlacoochee River through Valdosta will help prevent, or at least provide early warning for,
the types of

road closings and other floodings that happened in 2009.

Videos: funded flood map, Behavioral Health Board still vacant, Rezoning also on GLPC Monday, road abandonment, land exchange @ LCC 2016-07-26



On July 26th 2016,
they

approved up to $40,000
for the

Withlacoochee River Flood Inundation Map Project, and

I thanked them for that and for considering my modest suggestion.
The County Manager,
unlike

the previous morning,
did not mention it’s time for
scheduling meetings to set millage rates.
Still no applicant for the

Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Board, but Commissioner Joyce Evans thought she had a prospect for later.

They approved the
event center rezoning
which also sailed by the previous night’s
Planning Commission.

Below are links to each LAKE video with a few notes, followed by a
video playlist.
