Videos: Office on old US 41 N @ GLPC 2019-03-25

The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend
the one case before it last month:

rezoning for offices on Old US 41 North
.


Lowndes County still does not have a County Planner and now not a Zoner, either,
since Carmella Braswell resigned last month.
As usual, Molly Stevenson spoke for Planning.
I see she is now listed as
Department Head
on some county documents.

Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,
with a few notes,

Videos: Special bid review meeting @ VLCIA 2013-10-29



With
a bare quorum of 3 out of 5, VLCIA
Chair Mary Gooding

said they had finally purchased their own office space
and would henceforth pay neither lease nor rent

using our tax dollars.
I’d like to congratulate them for a thorough public bid review.


Project Manager Allan Ricketts
reviewed the project
including the bids on “the second document in front of you”
that the taxpaying public didn’t get to see.
He did summarize the bids, and they even showed them
on a slide:

$273,595 Cauthan
$232,445 Kellerman
$274,900 Quillian Powell
$262,557 Taylor
$244,000 True North


Bids

A board member wanted to know if the bids were all local.
Ricketts said they were.

Mr. Matt Hart, with IPG, project manager on the project,

Special bid review meeting @ VLCIA 2013-10-29

The Industrial Authority’s
new office is urgent enough for a special called meeting.
Inquiring reporter Gretchen is going to see what the fuss is about.

Maybe it’s just because this office search has had
more episodes than Star Wars.
Before Roy Copeland was appointed to the VLCIA board, they were
considering buying the old Board of Elections site from him.
Now he’s even been Chairman twice and given that up, and they
still don’t have a new office.
Or maybe it’s something to do with

who owns 103 Roosevelt Drive
.



Interestingly, HG Pinnacle Properties, Inc. also owns the much larger surrounding lot,

2318 N Patterson Street
,
on which

a Valdosta Electric trailer has been parked
across from the hospital for so long it shows up on Google Maps
.

On VLCIA’s website
and
facebook page
(although oddly not in their

current news
page:



There will be a Special Called Meeting of the Valdosta-Lowndes
County Industrial Authority 12 noon Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority Offices.

The purpose of this meeting is to review bids regarding the
renovation and construction of 103 Roosevelt Drive.
