Fretti.<br \/>\n&#8220;Our project website, located at  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyvaldosta.com\"><br \/>\nwww.energyvaldosta.com<\/a>, provides an easy and effective way to provide input,<br \/>\nand we will, of course, accept written comments sent to City Hall, at P.O.<br \/>\nBox 1125, Valdosta, Georgia 31603.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe website contains links to two brief questionnaires.  One provides an<br \/>\neasy way to suggest projects for inclusion in the EECS.  The second asks<br \/>\nabout goals that should be included in the EECS.  To keep the project<br \/>\nmoving, responses to these questionnaires are requested by May 20, 2011.<br \/>\nThere is also a contact link on the website that can be used to ask specific<br \/>\nquestions or make additional recommendations.  The EECS will be developed<br \/>\nduring the summer months, and a draft document presented to the City Council<br \/>\nin the fall.  Final adoption is anticipated prior to year&#8217;s end.<\/p>\n<p>\nCitizens may submit questions about the survey via<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyvaldosta.com\">www.energyvaldosta.com<\/a>,<br \/>\nand by clicking the<br \/>\n&#8220;Email Questions and Comments&#8221; link on the left side of the page.
