Update 2025-04-08<\/strong>:\r\nVideos: Three rezonings, three tax items, Sheriff Office and Water Wells bids @ LCC Work 2025-04-07<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThis week’s agenda for the Lowndes County Commission looks long\r\n(and the board packet is 90 pages),\r\nbut I predict everything will get approved unanimously in little time.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"[Collage:<\/a>\r\n
Collage: LCC Packet 2025-04-07<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe three rezonings had no opposition at the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC),\r\nwhich recommended all three unanimously.\r\n

\r\nThe three tax items are thoroughly supported by evidence.\r\n

\r\nThe county is not going to not pay for the repairs already done to the hurricane damage at the Sheriff’s office.\r\n

\r\nAnd the county has to drill two new water wells for Alapaha Plantation\r\nbecause of a Consent Order from GA-EPD.\r\n

\r\nHere is the\r\n\r\nagenda<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThe board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nSee also the\r\n\r\nboard packet for the preceding GLPC meeting<\/a>.\r\n
