In the Valdosta Daily Times, January 14, 2024 is a Public Notice for two Lowndes County rezoning proposals, both apparently in the middle of agricultural areas. REZ-2024-01 is for PD-R (Rural Planned Development) and REZ-2024-02 is for R-1 (Low Density Residential), both from E-A (Estate Agricultural).

The subject property for REZ-2024-01 runs all the way from Old Valdosta Road down across Salem Church Road and Webb Road to the Little River, so it’s not clear which 10 acres is proposed for rezoning.

Both cases will be before the Planning Commission on January 29, and the Lowndes County Commission on February 13, 2024.
