CSX stock went up 29% in January on rumors of a corporate takeover.
The same CSX that let a plume of toxic chemicals leak below its
Rice Rail Yard in Waycross, including into the upper Suwannee River watershed.
It’s not clear a corporate takeover would do anything to stop that,
or other possible contamination in for example Valdosta.

They vote tonight at 5:30 PM, and yesterday morning they reviewed
the three rezonings back
the agenda

He didn’t say anything about showing that list to the public.

The Development Authority is
twice as under budget as it is under revenue,
and they expect tax collections to catch up in January.
National Manufacturing Day had great local and national media coverage.
Fussell Tire
wants to build a warehouse with a non-coforming face towards St. Augustine Road;
the board sent back a look askance.
They’re also
still feuding with the Post Office about mail delivery to Nature Nate, the only tenant in Miller Business Park.
Prospective businesses want to see communities that “have their arms wrapped around millenials”, including bike trails. Hm, what about water trails, asked WWALS president John S. Quarterman?
They lacked a quorum with Continue reading

Two weeks ago,
County Manager Joe Pritchard announced that
Commissioner Joyce Evans is now serving as Vice Chairman,
yes, the
resolution to approve the VSU bonds
was requested by the
South Regional Joint Development Authority (SRJDA),
and
John Stevens is the new VDT reporter.
Citizen Shirley Moore said she’d like a connection to
county water and sewer.
They tabled the
Comprehensive Plan update, apparently because the Commissioners wanted to
“dig into it deeper”.
The rest was mostly approving what they already discussed the previous morning. They meet again Monday morning.
Below are links to each LAKE video with a few notes, followed by a video playlist.
