This morning, 8:30 AM, all of the items from the previous cancelled meeting are back on the agenda, for voting Tuesday 5:30 PM. Plus four more:
HISTORY, FACTS, AND ISSUES: The certified Lowndes County fatality rate: 2006-14, 2007-14, 2008~19, 2009-16, 2010-18, 2011-15, 2012-11, 2013-7, 2014-14, 2015-19, 2016-20. Any traffic fatality in Lowndes County is too many. For numerous years, the county has been plagued with an unacceptable fatality rate. Consistently for ten years between 2006 and 2016 we suffered with as much as nineteen people dying annually in crashes. In April 2012 the Sheriff created the SPEED team which joined forces with the Valdosta Police HEAT team. Together both agencies diligently fought to reduce the fatality rate. In 2013, Lowndes County recorded an unprecedented lowest rate of the decade with seven fatalities.

The Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission is cancelled. There is no notice of this on lowndescounty.com because county offices are still closed today and power is still out in parts of the county, according to Commissioner Scott Orenstein. He responded to an inquiry from Gretchen Quarterman after no county business numbers answered this morning.

They meet again
tonight.
The longest case last month at the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission was:
5. VA-2017-11 Tombrooks LLC 316&318 Eager Road PD in R-10 at almost 56 minutes.
Together with its companion
4. VA-2017-10 Tombrooks LLC 318 Eager Road R15 to R10
at 27 minutes,
those two took longer than the
pair of
Jon Nijem
Baytree Road rezonings
and the Hahira
Wilby Coleman Stanfill Street rezoning
put together.
That last one is apparently since Hahira is getting redesigned so much by
the exit 29 reworking and a new ball park that
anybody nearby might as well try to do something with their property.

to his day job.
