On Bemiss Road, the storage facility and the “event center called the “Enchanted Hall” that specializes in weddings, quincenaras, and family reunions, with an anticipated overall seating capacity of about 160 people,” seem unremarkable in next week’s agenda for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).

Two small Valdosta items and an annexation and rezoning @ GLPC 2024-07-29

For the Southern Gateway annexation and rezoning south of the airport, you can see a pond in the Aerial Location Map.

That is not visible in the Lowndes County Commission board packet for this week, which includes an item for Quit-Claim Deed of Abandoned Section of Race Track Road SE, previously abandoned by the county 2024-05-14.

No WRPDO map was included in either packet.

The Lowndes County Tax Assessors map does not show floodplain there.

However, VALORGIS shows the whole area as Aquifer Recharge Zone.
