Too many demands by the George County Board of Supervisors has sent Lucedale City Officials in a last minute frenzy to secure property for possible public restrooms before the March 1st deadline of a $650,000 Mississippi Development Authority Municipal Improvement Grant submission.
During the Board of Supervisors end-of-the-month meeting on Monday, the two boards seem to have made an agreement on the exchange of property, in order for the city to built an 1,000 square foot public restrooms on property presently owned by the county; but when the city officials received the contract provided by County Attorney Robert Shepard during a special called Lucedale Board of Aldermen meeting on Tuesday night, the demands placed on the city by the county seem to have been upped and not what the city officials had agreed to on Monday.
Aldermen Peyton Dudley, who was in attendance at Monday's meeting made a motion to deny the sent contract; the other aldermen agreed and voted unanimously to deny the contract.
After a lengthy discussion, the Aldermen voted to explore more options and look at other possibilities to meet the requirements of the grant submission before the deadline.
Work will continue on the grant submission today and "Community Corner" will keep you posted on any new developments!
