They vote this evening on what you can see them discussing yesterday morning in these LAKE videos of the Lowndes County Commission Work Session. The longest business item was not even a minute and a half on REZ-2017-12 West Ridge Business Park.

By far the longest item was not on the agenda: 11. Reports – County Manager a. Steve Gupton- LODAC Presentation, about a local drug counseling organization, originally private, but for long now funded by Valdosta and Lowndes County plus grants. As one of the presenters noted, probably only Commissioner Joyce Evans was thoroughly familiar with LODAC.

Below are links to each LAKE video of the Monday, December 11, 2017, Lowndes County Commission Work Session, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the agenda. For the four rezonings, see also the LAKE videos of last month’s Planning Commission meeting. Soon: REZ-2017-14 Cothron, Tucker Rd went to ZBOA for a variance, too.
