Video: SPLOST Facility Update with boatramp @ LCC 2015-02-05

The Naylor boat ramp might be finished this fall,


and here’s a list of other SPLOST expenditures, from

yesterday’s Lowndes County Commission Annual Planning Meeting
.

County Manager Joe Pritchard asked
Chad McLeod Project Manager and
Mike Fletcher County Engineer to come forward, saying
“Turn in your book to that tab….”
A book you, the taxpaying public reader, do not have.
The county can publish board packets on their new website if they want to.

McCleod presented current facilities for SPLOST VII,
after a long introduction by Pritchard, who said McLeod
was the county’s liaison with Parks and Rec (VLPRA)
and the Sheriff’s Department
and other offices.
McLeod said VLPRA projects are built by the county
and turned over to VLPRA for administration, except
for two projects at Freedom Park, which are being managed

Illegal trash dumping @ LCC 2015-02-05

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.

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.
