You can see in these packet materials how the four Dasher items are related, in the agenda for the Monday, June 29, 2026, Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).

Packet: 4 Dasher @ GLPC 2026-06-29, All related, On US 41 S

It took a while for them to arrive, since it was not obvious who was the contact or how to contact them. Now that that’s sorted, next time should be easier.

These GLPC board packet materials, received in response to a LAKE open records request, are on the LAKE website. Images of each page are below.

Also, after the GLPC meeting, Dasher put these materials on its own city webs ite. Now if they’ll just do that before the meeting, and if Lowndes County, Valdosta, Hahira, etc., will do the same, nobody will have to play this open records request game.

See also the agenda and the 2 Lowndes County tiems and the 2 Valdosta and the 1 Hahira items.
