LCBOC CM 9 22 26

The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on September 23, 2026, which included approval of minutes and a public hearing for a beer and wine license for a local business. A significant procurement-related discussion involved approving an agreement with the regional commission to provide grant writing and administration services for a Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBGDR) application aimed at paving Riverside Road. The board authorized the chairman to sign this agreement, noting that funds would only be expended if the grant is awarded. Additionally, residents expressed concerns about the planned widening and paving of Hall Road, emphasizing the potential impact on safety, mature trees, farmland, and the rural character of the area. They requested consideration of a narrower road design to preserve the community's environment. Other topics included updates on hazard mitigation plans and leadership roles of local department heads in state firefighter associations. No other procurement or contracting decisions were made during the meeting.
