VBOE Biomass Discussion Tonight
On the agenda for tonight’s meeting of the
Valdosta Board of Education is a discussion of the
the biomass incinerator Wiregrass Power LLC
proposes to build in Lowndes County, Georgia, just outside Valdosta.
Listed in the agenda as speakers are:
Brad Lofton, Executive Director, Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA)
Just so you know, Gretchen and I spoke in the “public participation” portion of the meeting (early on); we were each given 5 min and there were no questions. No one not on the agenda was allowed to speak. Brad Lofton was moved to later in the agenda under “miscellaneous” and given 20 min. I hear he had a Power Point presentation, but I didn’t stick around to hear it.
