\nAccording to their\n\nwebsite<\/a>\n(but curiously\n\nnot their facebook page<\/a>):\n<\/p>\n

\n\n\"VLCIA<\/a>\nThe Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority’s Regular Monthly\nMeeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 5:30 PM at the\nIndustrial Authority Conference Room, 2110 N. Patterson Street.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nI mentioned to a VLCIA board member Friday that the agendas never changed,\nexcept for the dates for minutes of previous meetings and of financial statements.\nI really must apologize!\nThis one also differs from last month’s agenda in three more ways:\n<\/p>\n

\nold Executive Director’s Report-Allan Ricketts on behalf of Andrea Schruijer\n
\n\nnew<\/em> Executive Director’s Report- Andrea Schruijer\n
\nold Adjourn General Meeting into Executive Session\n
\nold Adjourn Executive Session into General Meeting\n
\nold Adjoujrn General Meeting\n
\nnew<\/em> Adjourn General Meeting\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThat’s right: apparently Andrea Schruijer is in town this time,\nthere’s no scheduled Executive Session, and a typo is fixed.\n<\/p>\n

\nHowever, they didn’t change any of the lists of existing or prospective\nbusinesses, or meetings attended, or changes to the website, or acreage owned.\nBecause the agenda never lists any of those things, nor anything else of substance.\nWhile that sort of secrecy was perhaps useful in trying to sneak\nin a private prison and a biomass plant, I wonder if it really helps\n\nattract high tech business like Richmond County<\/a>\nor\n\nattract a solar park like Decatur County<\/a>?\n<\/p>\n

\nHere’s \nthe agenda.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
