Update 2018-01-28:
LAKE videos of Valdosta Mayor and Council talking about
$406 million and 25% discretionary funds which can be used for things like public transportation.
Preparing for a vote on the May 22, 2018, primary election ballot,
SGRC is holding two public meetings next week to review what the
regional roundtable has come up with for a project list for a regional
one-percent sales tax.
Most of the projects, ranging from $18 thousand to $26 million dollars, are for roads and bridges, but there are also sidewalks and one airport tower light.
There is nothing in the project list for public transportation,
but 25% of the funds are not on the project list, and counties or cities
could choose to use some of those funds for example for paying for
the urban area parts of trips by the Lowndes County MIDS on-call bus service.
