Newly confirmed State Transportation Planning Director Todd Long will be in SWGA today speaking to several area civic and business leaders.
In fact, the special called meeting of the Lee County Board of Commissioners – which Commissioner Rick Muggridge told me was at 9a rather than the 8a the Lee County website currently says – is a meeting with Mr. Long to discuss road projects in Lee County. I plan to take my lunch break from work early and be at that meeting – with my video camera.
I’m also told that Mr. Long will be meeting with Worth County leaders after that meeting, followed by a meeting with Albany and Dougherty County leaders at 11a.
This afternoon, Mr. Long will have a meeting with the Albany Chamber of Commerce, followed by a Q and A session with local media – which SWGAPolitics.com didn’t hear about until speaking with some of our colleagues in the ‘professional’ media.
Also on Mr. Long’s plans today are meetings with Mitchell County leaders in Camilla, and possibly a few other stops before he returns to Atlanta tonight.
I will defintely have a text post on both the regular meeting of the Lee County Commission from Tues night and this morning’s special called meeting at some point tonight, and I hope to have the video from today’s meeting ready at that time.
