The new videos are about

More to come.
Meanwhile, see also Gretchen’s notes about
the new boatramp on the Alapaha River
and
illegal trash dumping. Continue reading
I’m shocked, shocked, to discover there’s illegal dumping going on in Lowndes County! County staff assured us all two yeas ago that wouldn’t be a problem, while telling us all we had no choice about waste disposal. Yet today at the county’s retreat they showed this map of illegal dumping locations throughout the county.
(If the county published Continue reading
They’ve been working with Dr. Acree on land aquisition, and with GA-DNR
on flow levels and ramp placement, as well as anticipation of survey and
final designs, they said during the SPLOST agenda item,
reports Gretchen from the
Lowndes County Commission retreat.
No word of when they anticipate completing the boat ramp,
and it sounds like they haven’t actually purchased the land yet.

Your elected Commissioners and top county staff
listening to Finance Director Stephanie Black’s report,

One variance at Lake Alapaha, about not connecting to county water.
Since the county has had to
spend a lot of money recently on
upgrading the Lake Alapaha water treatment plant, digging individual
wells down into groundwater containing Alapaha River water seems dubious
to me.
With no County Director of Utilities since Mike Allen moved on,
I wonder who will represent the county?
Here’s the agenda, which oddly is not yet on the City of Valdosta website. Thanks to Alexandra for sending it.
