Grants, Taxes, and a Fair Housing Committee! @ VCC 2012-07-19

Hot topic Impediments to Fair Housing returns to the Valdosta City Council tonight:

5.a. Consideration of a request to establish a Fair Housing Committee.

I'm told they're going to appoint members to that committee tonight. More about that from their 5 April 2012 meeting.

They will also consider bids, grants, and taxes, and make a couple of award presentations.

Here's the agenda.
