\r\nIn the County Manager Report there is this item:\r\nDavid Crawford – Partnership Health Center (Work Session)<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nSince Lowndes County does not post video of its Work Sessions, you’ll either need to be there Monday morning at 8:30 AM, or watch it later in the LAKE videos.\r\n

\r\nThis contentious rezoning will be decided after a Public Hearing:\r\nREZ-2026-15 Mardun Ventures, LLC, 6434 Lake Alapaha Blvd, ~10.7ac, R-21 to E-A, County Water & Septic<\/a>.\r\n
