\n\n<\/a>\nHow about if Lowndes County buys the land next to Old State Road\nat Hotchkiss Crossing on the Alapaha River and turns it into\nAcree Park?\nThat would be a much better solution to the trash, tresspassing,\nand hunting problems there than closing the road.\nAnd Lowndes County itsels claims it has plenty of money available\nfor just such a purpose.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs we’ve seen, Lowndes County’s own Comprehensive Plan says\nthe county has $500,000 in Acquisition Funds Available to\n“Adopt, implement, and update provisions of the Greenspace Initiative Plan to include land acquisition and resource enhancement\/protection.”\nAnd that it plans to\n“Continue preparation and implementation of the Withlacoochee River Greenway Plan.”\n<\/p>\n

\nWhat say the county acquires parkland at Hotchkiss Landing\nfrom\n\n\nAcree Investments LTD?\n\nThat’s who really owns the land on both sides of Old State Road\nat the Alapaha River,<\/a> not Phillip Connell,\naccording to the Lowndes County Tax Assessor’s\nonline database.\nAnd making that land a park would solve all the problems of\ntrash, trespassing, and illegal hunting that he complained about,\nplus it could be organized so that Dr. Acree still has access\nto the rest of his land there.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt could also combine with the\nWithlacoochee River Greenway Plan\nto form a River Corridor Protection Plan so\nLowndes County can be a “Qualified Local Government”.\nWhich right now\n\nit may not be<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
