Corey Hull says they’re almost full. However, the presentation is already on the SGRC web pages. The City of Valdosta will be videoing the event. Once Corey knows when it will be televised on the City’s TV channel, SGRC will advertise that. There’s also some unknown level of possibility that the videos may be made available on the web.327 W.

John,This corrects the earlier post.I reviewed your question, and that project had an error in it, I am attaching a new spreadsheet, that is slightly revised. It includes the TIA funding with inflation so that it matches the other project sheets that we have handed out at the public meetings
I am sorry about the confusion this has caused.
Sincerely,
Corey

The corrected spreadsheet he sent is on the LAKE website in Excel spreadsheet and HTML versions.
In the HTML version, I have added three columns.
Name is taken from the
Unconstrained Project Listing.
Difference and Diff% were computed from
the Original total Cost Estimate and the Updated Total Cost Estimate.
The project descriptions may be found in the unconstrained and constrained project lists. More later.

Received yesterday from Corey Hull, with this cover sheet message, responding to my request in the T-SPLOST public meeting Monday.
John,The spreadsheet he sent is on the LAKE website in Excel spreadsheet and HTML versions. If you want to know what the projects are, you need to look at the unconstrained and constrained project lists. More later.In the attached spreadsheet you will find the each project associated with four columns: the original estimate, the updated estimate, the TIA funding (any difference from the TIA and updated cost estimate is a secondary funding source i.e. federal, state, or local), and whether that project is currently included in the constrained list.
GDOT provided the updated costs estimates (based on current GDOT bids) and in some cases those estimates were further revised by GDOT and the local governments where appropriate. All project scopes remained the same with the exception of RC11-000049 and RC11-000042 (highlighted in yellow), these project termini were changed significantly.
I hope this answers your questions, let me know if you have any more.

I don’t know what you might want to comment on,
but a couple of things that come to my mind are:

The correction has this new link to the form. The form says:The SGRC website has been updated to correct the error for the public comment form. Thank you for letting us know and helping to spread the word about these public meetings.
-Southern Georgia Regional Commission
and asks for your name, address, phone, email, and your comments. I bet you could email that information if you don’t want to print out the form and write on it. The public notice about the regional T-SPLOST meetings said:Public Comment Form

The first SGRC public meeting about the T-SPLOST Draft Constrained Investment List is today in Waycross:
If you live near Waycross, you may want to compare your local projects in the Draft Constrained Investment List with the previous unconstrained list to see what’s still in there and if there are any 50% cost increases like the Old US 41 North widening.Wednesday, September 7, 2011; 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.; at the Southern Georgia Regional Commission Waycross Office; 1725 South Georgia Parkway West, Waycross, Georgia; presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The
VLMPO SGRC web page
includes a link to a
Public Comment Form
but as you can see that link gets “page cannot be found”.
Doubtless that’s an accident, given that VLMPO is and SGRC are among
the most devoted to transparency of local governmental organizations.
Fixed now, with this new link to the public comment form.
I’d like to point out VLMPO SGRC does T-SPLOST administration,
but is not responsible for the content of the project lists;
those come from your local governments and are selected by
the T-SPLOST regional committee and the Georgia Department of Transportation.

The five‐year Short Term Work Plan (STWP) for the 2030 Greater Lowndes County Comprehensive Plan is due for an update later this year.

A ‘report of accomplishments’ that identifies the current status of each activity in the current STWP must be submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.

From: Brad Lofton <blofton@industrialauthority.com>Good morning Kay, Sandy et al.
Our unprecedented effort of educating the public included numerous public hearings, briefings with all elected officials, the VDT Editorial Board and groups all across Valdosta. We’ve even spent a great deal of effort trying to brief the NAACP leaving messages and making numerous phone calls to Leigh Touchton that have never been returned. We’ve spent more time educating the community on this project then the sum of any other projects we’ve worked combined. I’m amazed at how someone could dare say that we’ve not informed the public. The vast majority of her concerns for our project would have been answered two years ago if she had come to any of our forums or if she would at least answer her phone when we call. Now that we’re moving into the third year of due diligence, she’s concerned all of a sudden.
