Public Open House for 2035 Transportation Plan


Last Wednesday, February 17th from 3-5 p.m. at the Southern Georgia Regional Commission, a public open house was held for the 2035 transportation plan. This was an opportunity to visit with local elected officials to ask questions about the transportation projects in your area and how they might impact your organization's mission, your neighborhood, the natural environment, etc.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALDOSTA!!

What do you need for a great birthday? Fun location, A year long celebration, Great food, And of course the people of Valdosta to commemorate with! That is exactly what happened for the kick off January 15th and will continue to be celebrated throughout the year.

Valdosta Mayor John Fretti, spoke to the crowd and got them excited about their heritage of Valdosta. People came out to hear the Mayor speak about the town; some came out to hear local music bands, others just came to see what the excitement is all about. This was an eventful night; people dressed up as if they were from the 1860’s, a Doc Holiday look-a-like contest took place complete with passing out Doc mustaches, and the downtown restaurants served guest a verity of Valdosta dishes such as “swamp water” while local bands played.

If you missed the kick off do not worry, there are plenty more events to attend to this year. Click http://www.valdostacity.com/Index.aspx?page=436 for list of events!
