tire disposal amnesty.
11 of 18 counties have voted to hold a
Regional T-SPLOST referendum,
and Lowndes County now needs to decide whether to support or oppose that: they vote Tuesday at 5:30 PM.

They

ZBOA, Victoria Copeland, Michael Cooper, Mike Elkins, but they do not supply the actual applications.
These are for two slots, currently held by Dr. Willie Houseal,
who does not wish to be reappointed, and ZBOA Vice Chairman Gretchen Quarterman, who does.

Both the

rezoning cases
have different applicant names than

the Planning Commission listed two weeks ago,
this time as
REZ-2017-05 Jay Carter rezoning from R-A to R-1 for subdividing for independent sale and
REZ-2017-04 Rieffel rezoning to CON and E-A for animals.
REZ-2017-04 is located at 3621 SE Johnson Road,
which is just north of Mud Swamp Creek, which downstream joins with
Grand Bay Creek to form the Alapahoochee River, which flows into the Alapaha,
into the Suwannee, into the Gulf.
