Oconee County, GA Politics

The snow and ice made finding the usual garbage along the Oconee Connector this Saturday very difficult at best, so the Oconee County Democratic Committee Adopt-A-Mile clean up of a mile stretch from the 316 interchange to about where the Golden Pantry is will take place Monday at 1:00 pm instead. The Clarke County Democratic Committee wanted me to let you know that they will be working at Clarke Middle School from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm that same MLK Jr. Day as well. It's a day on, not a day off, especially after almost a week off

Subject: Postponement of Hearing Dear Friends, The developer of the proposed Epps Bridge Centre asked the Oconee County Board of Commissioners to postpone action on its rezone request until Oct. 7 so he can talk more about design issues with the planning staff. The Board voted unanimously to cancel the scheduled public hearing and table action on the rezone for the $76 million strip mall proposed for vacant land between Lowe's and Loop 10 on Epps Bridge Parkway, behind the current McDonald's and Starbucks. The half dozen or so persons who planned to ask questions during the public hearing were not given advance notice of the requested postponement. The hearing had been confirmed at the BOC agenda-setting meeting last Tuesday and included in the agenda released by Chairman Melvin Davis' office late last week.
