There is currently a position available on the Lowndes County Industrial Development Authority (LCIDA) board. At present, the Lowndes County Board of Supervisors has reached a stalemate on their appointment for this at-large position.
There has been heated discussion surrounding this appointment as recently as November 15, and the Golden Triangle Development LINK has been mentioned numerous times.
While the GTR LINK does manage the LCIDA by contract with the Board of Supervisors, we do not in any way have a vote for the appointments to the board. Our organization does not have the authority to endorse or dismiss any appointments made by the Board of Supervisors.
The GTR LINK has the responsibility to work with any individual appointed to the Lowndes County Industrial Development Authority. Our only concern with the composition of the board is that it be made up of qualified and engaged individuals.
Joe Max Higgins CEO, Golden Triangle Development LINK
