Newsflash! “no new information” and “questions were resolved” about

on the Alapaha River, according to the Commission.
They vote tonight at 5:30 PM.

Dr. Bill Grow talked for fifteen minutes about

South Health District,

Ashley Tye reported on
local weather conditions

some county residents came up.

It’s J. Glenn Gregory again for the

South Regional Joint Development Authority
and
Commissioner Joyce Evans for the

Southern Georgia Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council.
They are applying for a grant for the county’s MIDS
bus system and reapplying for a CDBG grant for Second Harvest.

Here’s

the agenda, with links to the videos and some notes,
followed by a video playlist.
