Many of the same people went about the proposed Brookhaven apartment rezoning to the
Greater Lowndes Planning Commission 31 March 2014 and the next night to the
Lake Park City Council 1 April 2014, where that item was tabled to give time for the developers to talk to the citizens.
Video to come. Video ready for GLPC 2014-03-31.

Controversial rezoning and no annexation @ Lake Park 2014-04-01
The Brookhaven apartment building
packed the Planning Commission meeting last night
and
it’s on the agenda in Lake Park tonight.
The annexation request discussed at length at the 10 March 2014 Lowndes County Commission Work Session was on the agenda for last night’s Planning Commission but was withdrawn. It’s still on this agenda.
And they have Citizens’ Concerns not once but twice.
Here’s the agenda. They put it in HTML right on their website!

Moody Family Housing Environmental Assessment published
Spotted first by Michael G. Noll in the VDT yesterday, the document promised by Col. Ford the previous evening. A quick search finds nothing about the Nelson Hill Wells, and no mention of VSU or any of the professors there who have expressed concern and asked for access to the site to conduct an independent study.
USAF ANNOUNCES AN
ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENTIn accordance with the National Environmental Policy
Act and Air Force regulations, the Air Force Civil
Engineer Center (AFCEC) has completed a Revised Draft
Environmental Assessment (EA), Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI), and a Finding of No
Practicable Alternative (FONPA) to evaluate the
consequences of the following stated proposed action:The revised Proposed Action would involve the
construction of 11 housing units for senior leadership on
a 15-acre parcel on the base and 90 units on an
approximately 60-acre parcel located northwest of the
city of Valdosta, GA on Val-Del Road (the Val-Del
Parcel). This represents a reduction Continue reading
Air Force has the environmental assessment for Moody Family Housing
Last night I chatted briefly with Moody’s
Col. Ford, before he spoke at the
Lake Park Chamber Annual Awards Dinner.
He said he had been able to get on the site of the proposed Moody Family
Housing about a year ago.
I mentioned the
Nelson Hill Wells
and he said they had spent a lot of time already investigating
water issues, and now the Air Force has received the environmental assessment.
Perhaps it includes the missing piece this time,
and maybe there’s a way for the public and local professors
to provide input.
Colonel Edward Ford is commander of the 23d Mission Support Group at Moody AFB, Ga. He leads a group of more than 1,450 military and civilian members providing support and services to a population of 28,000 active duty, retired military and family members. His group maintains an installation with more than 830 buildings and more than 17,500 acres, including an adjacent bombing or strafing range. He is responsible for ensuring the readiness of support forces to mobilize and deploy to build, secure, and sustain air base operations at austere bare base locations anywhere in the world.
The 23d Mission Support Group also retains responsibility for civil engineering, environmental compliance, Continue reading

Early Election returns
So far, according to
Lowndes County’s online election results,
SPLOST is winning more than 2 to 1,
while Bruce Cain and Rose Adams are neck-and-neck for
a plurality for Mayor in Hahira with incumbent Wayne Bullard
a distant third and Johnny L. Stalvey trailing.
Kenneth Davis is way ahead of Traci Selph Davis for Hahira City Council District 2.
In Lake Park, it looks like Bert Rutland is going to make it onto the council this time, while Eric Schindler will remain Mayor.
For Valdosta City Council, incumbents Alvin Payton (District 4) and Robert Yost (District 6) are leading, as is Sandra J. Tooley (District 2), although not by as wide a margin.
For Valdosta School Board, Lizzie Shumphard (District 2) is way in the lead, incumbent Vanassa Flucas (District 2) is even farther ahead, and incumbent Warren Sweet Lee (District 3) is sailing in unopposed.
Apparently some results in Valdosta are still coming in: Continue reading
