\nValdosta, GA\n<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe VDT calendar doesn’t say what real estate, but the source\nhas usually been correct before.\nSince it’s about real estate they’ll probably go directly into executive\nsession, which means the public can’t attend that part.\nHowever, public can attend the public street outside.\n

\nVLCIA Chairman Jerry Jennett\n\npreviously said:<\/a>\n\n\n

\n“They have not asked us for a project extension and I’m pretty sure if\nthey did ask for one, they’d get a no vote.”\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<\/a>\nThat was when he told the VDT that Sterling Planet’s time was up for\nthe biomass project.\nHe already knew then but didn’t tell until a week later that\n\nSterling Planet wants to buy the biomass site.<\/a>\n

\nOK, Chairman Jennett, here’s a chance to get a no vote on the biomass plant,\nby refusing Sterling Planet’s offer for the site.\n

\nAnd despite VLCIA’s secretive ways, the community is watching.\n
