Stafford Wright Road is getting its 12″ water main, connecting all the way from Spring Creek subdivision off of Studstill Road to Val Del Road. That’s Nelson Hill on the center left and Foxborough lower left: subdivisions like that are what to expect on Stafford Wright Road soon.

This appears to be another no-bid contract, this time for Continue reading

Maybe ask the company that adopted Clay Road? Response yesterday from the EMA Lowndes facebook page:
Hi, as a point of clarification emergency personnel responded to reports of an odor; however, after thorough investigation no evidence of a chemical leak or release could be identified or confirmed. As a precaution, the Board of Education property was accessed by responders. No evidence of contamination was present. A follow up visit to the area later this morning reports the odor was no longer present.
Thank you, EMA Lowndes, for responding, and on a weekend, too.
However, people couldn’t get home that night.

I still think it would be good to check with nearby industry. Maybe start with Continue reading
Update 2017-11-05: Word from EMA Lowndes, and how about ask the company that adopted Clay Road?
Already heard about last night on facebook, a chemical leak on Clay Rosd at Howell Road is next to the Lowndes County Schools Transportation Department. Were all those school buses affected?

Valdosta Daily Times, 3 November 2017, Chemical leak reported off Clay Road,
VALDOSTA — Lowndes County officials said late Friday a possible chemical leak located in the vicinity of Clay Road resulted in temporary road closures.
Sheriff Ashley Paulk said Continue reading
By far the most time, almost eight minutes, on
6b. Abandonment of Portions of Old Lake Park Road and Hickory Grove Road SE,
the Lowndes County Commissioners spent two weeks ago,
involving reference to minutes they approved in that meeting
but that still aren’t on the county’s website two weeks later,
and resulting in a split vote.
More interesting: the county is finally starting construction on the Naylor Boat Ramp.
By their customary silent “acclamation” they appointed people to the Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority.
Below are Continue reading
The longest item was not on the agenda:
a
Health Fair Update in the County Manager’s Report.
They breezed through everything else including 5 a. Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority Appointment, although the Chairman did have another name to propose.
Below are links to the LAKE video of each item, plus a very few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also Continue reading

23 minutes last night to approve 3:2 with many conditions rezoning the 6c. REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate, with no shouting afterwards like there was at at the previous evening’s Planning Commission meeting, yet a lot of grumbling at the Lowndes County Commission Regular Session, especially since they seem to have forgotten the greenspace condition.
I would like to commend the Commission for the amount and depth of discussion in this meeting, especially in the unscheduled 10. Commission Comments and Recognitions and Meeting Adjournment, which was mostly about Clay Griner’s idea of having a county-wide utility authority including all the cities in the county. Update 2017-10-20: moved the rest of this utility authority commentary down to the video item below.
Also not on the agenda was Chairman Slaughter comments on community response to Hurricane Irma (which were mostly about county staff; well-deserved especially for Ashley Tye) and Georgia Power Representative recognizes county hurricane response.
While it’s great that Georgia Power came to compliment the county, does that electric utility rep. reside in or pay property taxes in Lowndes County, and why was he not required to state his name and address? Ditto the software salesman for Continue reading
