Update 2021-10-11<\/strong>:\r\n\r\nVideos: Subdivisions, Wells Road abandonment, Water Main, Library @ LCC 2021-10-11<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nFive and a half million dollars on the agenda for the Lowndes County Commission\r\nMonday morning, for voting Tuesday evening.\r\nMost of it is for sewer system improvements, but $1 million is to run another water main in the north side of the county to promote more subdivisions, such as the three on the same agenda.\r\n

\r\n\"[Seven<\/a>\r\n
Seven rezonings and a road abandonment<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nFor one of\r\n\r\nthe rezonings on Val Del Road<\/a>\r\nstaff cite\r\n“Current growth trends in the area.”\r\nWell, here’s who is setting those growth trends: the Lowndes County Commission and staff,\r\nplus the Chamber and Development Authority.\r\n

\r\nAt least staff and the Planning Commission recommend denying the worst of the lot,\r\nREZ-2021-16 G W Farms, 5999 Val Del Road, R-A to R-1, Well & Septic, ~98.95 acres<\/a>,\r\nwhich is so far north up Val Del Road it’s almost at GA 122.\r\nThe Commission previously denied a rezoning at that same location.\r\nThey should do so again.\r\n

\r\nThey also propose to abandon\r\nAbandonment of a portion of Salem Church Road (CR #68) and Wells Road (CR # 68 & CR #69)<\/a>,\r\nstarting at GA 122.\r\nThat is a problem, because Wells Road at GA 122 is the turnoff to get to Folsom Bridge Landing,\r\none of only two public access points to the Little River in Lowndes County.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\nCost<\/th>\r\n\r\nWhat<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
