On the LAKE Front

Special Industrial Authority meeting today at noon

At least this time it's on their website (under "RECENT NEWS"):

Notice of a Special Called Meeting of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority for the purpose of reviewing bids and awarding a contract for Westside Business Park Phase I Infrastructure Project on Friday, January 27, 2012, 12 Noon at the Authority offices, 2110 N. Patterson St. 229-259-9972.

That's not a link in the middle; they underlined the date and time. Soon, maybe they will discover italics!

Here's a picture from when they discussed this item at their most recent regular meeting:

Update 12:20 PM 2012 01 27: And here is video of Col. Ricketts at that 17^th January 2012 Regular Session, saying Phase 1 had already been completed and they had asked for bids for Phase 2. So Phase 2 is presumably what they're accepting bids for right now. I still give them credit for posting a notice of today's special called meeting on their website. -jsq

Projects, PR, and Planning at Industrial Authority this evening

Today is the third Tuesday of the month, so the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority Board of Directors meets tonight. A list of specific projects, a PR position, and a strategic planning presentation are on their agenda.

I see they held a special called meeting 16 December 2011, but at least they listed it on their web page. Maybe they've got control of their technical glitches.

Appended is the schedule for 2012, and the agenda for tonight's meeting.
