\r\nThis is what I’ve found the Lowndes County Commission has already spent on Clyattstone Road, and I may have missed some.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nCost<\/th>\r\n\r\nWhat<\/th>\r\n\r\nWhen\r\n<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
$1,681,770.84<\/td>Grading, Drainage, Base, and Paving of Clyattstone Road and Simpson Lane.<\/td>\r\n2020-09-21<\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
$1,417,333.98<\/td>Clyattstone Water Main Extension<\/td>\r\n2020-09-21<\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n
\r\n$43,245.50\r\n<\/td>\r\nThe stated ROW cost in the agenda<\/a>\r\n<\/td>2020-02-24<\/a>\r\n
$23,590.50\r\n<\/td>Approval of Clyattstone Rd.-Simpson Ln. ROW and Easement Purchases (Parcels 26 and 34)<\/a><\/td>\r\n2020-07-14<\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
\r\n$20,000.00\r\n<\/td>\r\n\r\nFor wetland credits acquisition<\/a><\/td>\r\n2020-04-28<\/a>.\r\n
\r\n$11,535.00\r\n<\/td>\r\nand the other stated ROW cost in the agenda\r\n
\r\n$2,916.00\r\n<\/td>\r\nUp to that amount for an acre of drainage for Simpson Lane<\/a><\/td>\r\n2020-04-16<\/a>.\r\n
$1,085.00\r\n<\/td>Approve Purchasing ROW and Drainage Easement for Clyattstone Rd.-Simpson Ln. TSPLOST Paving Project<\/a><\/td>\r\n\r\n2020-05-27<\/a>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
\r\n$3,201,476.82<\/td>\r\nCounty tax dollars so far spent on Clyattstone Road<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n

\r\nSo that’s more than $3 million tax dollars the county has already spent subsidizing subdivision developers on Clyattstone Road, before getting into maintenance and later School Board and Fire and Sheriff Department expenses.\r\nRemember that when somebody says public transportation has to be subsidized.\r\n

\r\nHere are the expenses acknowledged in agenda sheets for this coming week’s Commission meetings:\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nCost<\/th>\r\n\r\nWhat<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
$351,115.00<\/td>Bid for a Pumper for the Fire Department<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n
