The Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) voted to recommend approval of all three city cases and the one Lowndes County case, all but one unanimously.

On 3. CU-2025-09 Mary Pierce 809 ½ Nardo Street – CUP for mobile home, the vote was split 5-1-1. Commissioner Graham abstained. Commissioner Hightower voted no, saying he was concerned about setting a precedent.

On 4. VA-2025-13 Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) NW Corner Inner Perimeter – GA 84 E, Gretchen Quarterman said she wasn’t necessarily opposed to the gaslighters’ project, but she is very concerned about the safety of trucking in explosive liquid natural gas right past Valdosta High School and into the busy intersection at US 84 and Inner Perimeter.

The actual decisions will be made by the Valdosta City Council and the Lowndes County Commission.
