That could be good because it makes them focus on existing industries.
Here’s the agenda.

Tonight at 5:30 PM they welcome
new marketing person
Meghan Schunhoff, whose
linkedin profile
says she also works for
The Triangle Furniture Football Friday Night Radio Show- Black Crow Media
and she previously worked for
South Georgia Medical Center.
She is listed on the Development Authority’s Our Team web page as Marketing & Research Manager, with no picture or other information yet. Maybe it’s her job to put that there….
Meanwhile, thanks to Lu Williams for posting the agenda. FYI, they didn’t meet last month.

Monthly Meeting Agenda
Record low attendance, not record but very short session time,
even with a full agenda;
at least you can see last month’s last Lowndes County Commission Regular Session in these LAKE videos.
They meet again 8:30 AM this morning.
See also the LAKE videos of the May 23rd Work Session. In the May 24th Regular Session, there were still no questions yesterday from Commissioners about that $55,979.00 in two no-bid items.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall did ask Continue reading
Will they take longer to vote this evening at 5:30 PM than the
8 1/2 minutes for yesterday morning’s Work Session with
a full agenda?
No questions yesterday from Commissioners about that $55,979.00 in two no-bid items, although the County Manager did say “quotes” about the . lift station pump. The County Manager’s Report did say he’d received an annexation request from Hahira for the W. Main St. property and he indicated no grounds for the county to protest.
The only question from a Commissioner was about which one of them might be picked to serve with “Ms. Andrea Schuijer” on the South Regional Joint Development Authority. Answer: maybe Clay Griner. Nobody asked why the county’s web page on that Joint Authority says Andrea Schruijer is already on it. Is this a reappointment? And which slots are vacant? Also, what does this Joint Authority do?
For the Southern Georgia Area Agency on Aging, yes it’s Commissioner Joyce Evans for reappointment.County Engineer Mike Fletcher said the Beaver Lane closing previously came up in 2002 and was denied, but now some of the opponents from then are for it. Tonight is not the public hearing: merely a determination on scheduling a public hearing. Continue reading
This morning’s 8:30 AM $45,600.00 for new grounds for four radio towers: was it in the budget, or is this another emergency no-bid item? Ditto the $10,379.00 for the Kinderlou Lift Station Pump? Each item names only one company quoting.
After
abandoning Beaver Lane, will the county vote to fix it as a private road,
like they did with
Carter Way?
And from whom did the county receive the abandonment request?
Will the
County Manager’s Report
include
the Hahira W. Main St. annexation?
Also on the Lowndes County Commission agenda for discussion Monday morning and vote Tuesday evening, appointing “Ms. Andrea Schuijer and a Commissioner” to the Continue reading
On tonight’s Development Authority agenda,
I’m guessing GEDA is
Georgia Economic Development Association.
Nature Nate, you may recall, is the first occupant of Miller Business Park.
I continue to suggest the Development Authority put solar panels on much of that
unused business park land and turn the business parks into profit centers instead
of continual money sinks to service all those bonds that funded them.

Is the mysterious Project Max a glass container plant as everyone seems to think?
It’s on
the agenda that suddenly appeared on the Development Authority’s website
this afternoon after Gretchen called to ask where it was.
She will be there with the LAKE video camera.

They said almost nothing last month about
Project Max, so we don’t know for sure if for example it is really a glass container company.
They meet again tonight. Actually, that one is cancelled; they meet next April 19th.
At the end, Gretchen
spoke about:
Dr. Noll of WACE said he was there to “harrass” Continue reading
Is Project Max really a glass container company?
What bids did they get for the
Clearing & Grubbing RFP last Friday?
How is that going to work right next to Mud Swamp after heavy rains?
How’s Nature Nate liking being the only business in the Authority’s Miller Business Park? What about the legislative dinner and the Bird Supper? Gretchen will be there tonight with the LAKE video camera.

Some of our elected officials wonder few people ever speak up around here.
It’s simple: they owe their soul to the company store.
If you don’t go along, you don’t get business.
As Tennessee Ernie Ford sang in that old Merle Travis song:

Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ’cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
