The<br \/>\nHotchkiss Bridge or now people are calling it Hotchkiss landing is a<br \/>\ngood check point for the fisherman. I&#8217;m concern because there is<br \/>\nnot many public a ccess on this Alapaha river. Well if Naylor ever<br \/>\nexpands there wouldn&#8217;t be any water recreation use in this<br \/>\ncommunity. That is not good for our community. People all over this<br \/>\narea use this public access for fishing &amp; they bring there kids and<br \/>\nthere family together to have a family picnic, swimming. People go<br \/>\ndown there to relax and listen to the water hitting the rocks and<br \/>\nhear the birds making different noise. This is a nice place to take<br \/>\npicture of the nature. The Hotchkiss Bridge is a top location for<br \/>\nbird watching in the State of Georgia. Birding enthusiasts<br \/>\ninterested in experiencing the many wonderful bird families in the<br \/>\nsurrounding areas of Hotchkiss Bridge. The Hotchkiss Bridge has a<br \/>\nhistoric value to our community. It use to be the old major highway<br \/>\nto go to the next town. Many of our community had there ancestry use<br \/>\nthat old Hotchkiss Bridge. I know the bridge has been gone for many<br \/>\nyears. Now it&#8217;s a public boat ramp. The Hotchkiss Bridge has history<br \/>\nand It would be  a good asset for Lowndes county to have&#8230;.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nP.S. I would like a park down there and a sign that tell the history<br \/>\nof the old Hotchkiss Bridge.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Received Sunday; he sent it to all the Lowndes County Commisioners. -jsq My name is Christopher L.
