The slides in the previous post were actually from last year. Sorry about that.

I compliment County Manager Paige Dukes for pointing that out, and her and Finance Director Stephanie Black for making these materials accessible this year.

Packet: 2 Valdosta, 1 Hahira @ GLPC 2026-06-29

1 Reply

Staff recommended denial of the first of two Valdosta items, and of the one Hahira item, on the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) agenda for 5:30 PM, Monday, June 29, 2026.

The first recommendation for denial is 9. CU-2026-05, Tierra Inman, CUP, 602 Ulmer Avenue Tax Parcel 0161A 219 which is another request for a double-wide mobile home in a stick-built neighborhood. Neither GLPC nor the Valdosta City Council likes those.

The Hahira recommendation for denial is 11. HA-2026-01, Williams Investment Company, Variances Section 5-6.1 Hahira Subdivision Regulations Access Standards, I-75 Exit 29 at Union Road.

“In this particular case, it is very clear that the applicant’s request for Variances is simply a matter of convenience and that the conditions triggering the need for Variance are self-imposed. They can be easily avoided, and they do not extend from any legitimate hardship that is peculiar to the current conditions of the land nor the development thereon (it is all vacant property and this is all new development). Therefore, these Variance requests should be denied.”

Update 2026-06-28: Packet: 2 Valdosta, 1 Hahira @ GLPC 2026-06-29.

Update 2026-06-27: WWALS blog post Verizon tower in Langdale Park? @ GLPC 2026-06-29.

Verizon Wireless wants to put a communications tower in Langdale Park, a stone’s throw from the main kiosk, at 30.885908, -83.320453.

The rezoning sign is not in Langdale Park: it’s on the private property on Hyta Mederer Road, at 30.8870644, -83.3173206.

The FAA NOTICE CRITERA say it’s in Remerton.

The packet materials for TWR-2026-02 Bermuda Run say its address is 3781 North Valdosta Road, which is misleading at best.

Also:

The decision to be made by the Board of Commissioners is not a zoning decision. It is a quasi-judicial decision whether the standards for a telecommunications tower in Section 5.05.05 of the ULDC are met.

The TRC analyzed the request, the standards set forth in Section 5.05.00 (attached), and Section 10.02.00 of the ULDC, and noted that Continue reading →

They asked a few questions about the three court grant cash match items, the Lowndes County Commission in their 14-minute Monday morning Work Session, June 22, 2026.

Regarding the Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance, Gretchen Quarterman wondered, “I would have thought that the commission might want to have a public hearing on an issue like this to hear from both liquor store owners and churches and schools.”

You can now see the proposed Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance the Lowndes County Commission intends to adopt this evening at 5:30 PM, and something about the infrastructure they intend to approve for the Camelot Crossing Commercial Development.

You can speak about pretty much anything, including datacenters, in Citizens Wishing to Be Heard.

Don’t forget the 5:00 PM Budget Public Hearing.

Notice: Two Budget Public Hearings @ LCC 2026-06-22

2 Replies

Update 2026-06-28: Actually, that Monday meeting and those slides were from last year. The last Budget Public Hearing and the this year’s slides: Notice: Special Called Meeting to Adopt the Proposed FY 2027 Budget @ LCC 2026-06-30.

Did you know Lowndes County is going to hold two Budget Public Hearings this coming week?

One will be 9 AM Monday morning, after the Work Session. I found that one on lowndescounty.com by googling for it. Monday is actually June 22 according to every other calendar; nevermind what that notice says.

The other Budget Public Hearing will be 5 PM Tuesday evening, before the Regular Session. Gretchen found that one in the Valdosta Daily Times via a google alert.

They will both be in the Commission Chambers on the second floor of 327 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, Georgia.

Neither of them are in the main calendar on lowndescounty.com.

I also found what appear to be the slides for these budget public hearings. They are on lowndescounty.com, but they are not linked from the web pages for the Finance Department nor the County Clerk nor the County Manager.

They are not in PDF or PowerPoint and they are not downloadable. So I took screenshots of each slide, which you can see below. You’re welcome.

Maybe at some of these Budget Public Hearings or at the Work Session or the Regular Session why these Public Hearings are not more prominently announced. Continue reading →

Agenda: DFACS, DUI, Accountability, Juveniles, Camelot Crossing Infrastructure, Email Software, Alcohol Ordinance @ LCC 2026-06-22

Update 2026-06-19: Notice: Two Budget Public Hearings @ LCC 2026-06-22.

It would be interesting to see the Alcoholic Beverage Ordinance the Lowndes County Commission will be voting on Tuesday evening, and the infrastructure they intend to approve for the Camelot Crossing Commercial Development.

But there is nothing on the county website but the bare agenda, and the county has not yet responded to an open records request for the board packet.

We do know that Tuesday evening at the 5:30 PM Regular Session you can speak in Citizens Wishing to Be Heard.

But not at the 8:30 AM Monday Work Session, where you do get to hear staff and Commissioners discuss agenda items.

Agenda: DFACS, DUI, Accountability, Juveniles, Camelot Crossing, Email Software, Alcohol Ordinance @ LCC 2026-06-22

Here is the agenda.

All the agenda sheets linked under “Documents:” are blank.

LAKE still does not have the board packet, even though the LAKE open records request went to Lowndes County at 8 AM on Tuesday, June 16. I would think Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday count as the three days permitted to respond to a Georgia Open Records Act (GORA) request. If so, they’re late.

I’ve included a map of Camelot Crossing from the Lowndes County Tax Assessors website. I’ve marked some well-known nearby sinkholes. I wonder how many of the other visible wetlands are also sinkholes?

Proposed Local Act for Local Homestead Option Sales Tax (LHOST) @ LCC 2026-06-09

1 Reply

At their June 9, 2026, Regular Session, the Lowndes County Commissioners added an item about El GHOST or something to the agenda. That turned out to be a Local Homestead Option Sales Tax (“LHOST”).

The Commissioners unanimously approved sending a draft act to the legislative delegation for the mid-June, 2026, Special Session of the Georgia General Assembly. We now have a copy of that draft Act. Which says the Act has to be approved by a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and the House, and then placed on the November ballot.

Yes means an additional one cent sales tax, for a total of nine cents, starting January 1, 2027.

That tax will apply only to the unincorporated areas of Lowndes County. Which should be interesting for chains that have stores both in unincorporated Lowndes County and in Valdosta: you’ll get to pay a penny more in the county.

The effect of this new tax would be further homestead ad valorem tax exemption for property owners, with the difference paid for by everyone who pays sales tax. This is the most regressive type of tax, in that even the poorest people have to pay it. Also, the businesses that collect this sales tax will get no benefit from it. Well, businesses in the city may get a benefit of more customers because they do em collect this tax.

Proposed Local Act for Local Homestead Option Sales Tax (LHOST), SB 33 of 2026, HB 581 of 2024 @ LCC 2026-06-09

LAKE previously got the 20-minute slide presentation by County Manager Paige Dukes, which is also appended below to have it all in one place.

According to the agenda finally updated on the county website, that’s:

7.f. Proposed Local Act for LHOST

Here is the substantive part of the agenda sheet:

Senate Bill 33 passed in 2026 authorizes a Local Homestead Option Sales Tax (“LHOST”) to fund homestead exemptions granted by local Act of the General Assembly and approved by voters by referendum.

Staff and the County Attorney have prepared the attached draft proposed local Act providing for an LHOST in Lowndes County. It is based on a sample prepared by ACCG.

OPTIONS:

  1. Approve submitting the attached proposed local Act to the local delegation of the General Assembly representing Lowndes County
  2. Redirect

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Option 1

Update 2026-06-15: Proposed Local Act for Local Homestead Option Sales Tax (LHOST) @ LCC 2026-06-09.

The bulk of this long meeting was not on the agenda: another one cent sales tax, a report about services at Leila Ellis, and eight citizens wishing to be heard. Well, those citizens were collectively on the agenda of the Tuesday evening Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission, but the other two items were not.

By far the longest item at 21 minutes was added to the agenda at the beginning of
7.f. LHOST Consideration, SB 33 Special Local Homestead Option Sales Tax The title is my guess; I think Chairman Bill Slaughter just said LHOST.

The thirteen slides County Manager Paige Dukes presented are on the LAKE website, received in response to a LAKE open records request. Images of each slide are below.

We do not yet have the draft legislation the Commissioners unanimously approved sending to the Georgia legislature to enact this additional one cent sales tax, because I didn’t think to request it until this afternoon. Why the slides and the legislation are not on the county’s own website is mysterious.

They approved everything else unanimously, including reappointing James Ramsey and appointing Gary Wisenbaker to the Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals: his brother Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker recused himself.

They appointed James Warren to the Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport Authority.

They reappointed Andy Griffin and Scott Purvis to the Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority.

The longest regular item discussion at almost seven minutes was of the Industrial Authority Series 2026 Bonds.

Another long item (almost six minutes) not on the agenda occured when as part of the County Manager Report Paige Dukes asked Probation Director Ferlisha Rountree to talk about about services at Leila Ellis.

Six citizens spoke about the potential datacenter on Coleman Road: George Fisher, Jimmy LeFiles, John Smith, Amy Wiegenstein, Sarah Riggle, and Suwannee Riverkeeper John S. Quarterman.

Also, Skyler Ramen(sp?) said his paycheck increases less than rent does and Robert Willis would like speed bumps on Danieli Drive in Lake Park.
