Annexation postponed @ Hahira 2014-06-05



They tabled until July 10th the Wetherington-Nelson annexation request,
and approved the city budget; also a beer and wine license.
And voted to accept a bid from EZsite to fix their website.
Council Mason Barfield said in Council Comments he loves being
on video, and sees the Internet as the future of local government.
County Manager Jonathan Sumner noted Hahira’s budget is in the black,
and, unlike other local governments, does not need to raise its millage.
Hm, maybe they could afford to do their own videos, then.

Since their website is still broken, I don’t have an agenda.
Here are links to the videos, followed by a playlist. Continue reading →

Videos: Hahira rezoning and annexation, two Valdosta CUP @ GLPC 2014-04-28



Tabled at applicant’s request:
the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation;
see also the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014.
The proponents
to establish a recycling center
didn’t show up to answer questions, and due to lack of information
(noise, hours, odors, vermin, expansion, etc.), GLPC unanimously voted to recommend tabling.
GLPC voted to recommend approval with selected conditions for
Langdale Ford’s
minor automotive repair facility.

Remember, Lowndes County answered an open records request for the agenda

47 hours after this Planning Commission meeting started.
Here’s

the actual agenda by other means.

One Hahira rezoning and annexation and Two Valdosta Conditional Use Permits @ GLPC 2014-04-28



It seems unlikely the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation
will go anywhere tonight, due to the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014,
even though that may be based on a misunderstanding.
Hm, somebody wants
to establish a recycling center.
And Langdale Ford wants
to establish a minor automotive repair facility.

Videos: Ham and Eggs Show 2013-02-20



The Lowndes County Ham and Eggs show is



the only one in Georgia and
one of only two in the country. Now, you might wonder why? Many
folks are interested in good, local foods and the craft of curing
meats. Well, it has to do with regulations and having the hogs
slaughtered and cured in USDA certified facilities.

Years ago,

men, women and children would cure the meats at home and
bring the hams on the appointed day to the contest (and auction).
But, now no meat can be sold
