News

DAHLONEGA, Ga. — The Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners held a work session and regular meeting Tuesday and approved a series of resolutions and renewed several lease agreements.

Commissioners unanimously approved the 2017 calendars for meetings of the Board of Commissioners, the government holiday schedule, budget calendar and the appointment of Capt. Larry Glover to the Veterans Affairs Committee.

The lease agreements approved include four leases with Wimpy’s Airport Hangar and one for the tie-down at the airport. Commissioners did not approve a bridge and sidewalk project at Yahoola Creek Park. The project is being undertaken by Leadership Lumpkin to facilitate access between the all abilities park and the main park.

Commissioners also approved the use of the county’s water truck to water Calhoun Mine Road to eliminate the dust on the road that has resulted from the area’s lack of rain.

Director of Planning and Public Works Larry Reiter addressed the Board recently about complaints his office has received from homes along the road. Reiter said the county cannot pave the road because property owners would not grant the county the necessary right of way.
