The Chattooga County Land Development Commission has canceled a planned meeting for next week. County government issued a statement on Friday saying, “The Chattooga County Land Development meeting scheduled for June 17th 2024 within the Agriculture Center HAS BEEN CANCELED due to scheduling conflicts, and additional submissions needing to go before the commission at a later time, we feel it would be best to reschedule the meeting for a date in July that will be announced soon on ChattoogaCounty.org”. The cancellation notice did not mention that the original meeting was scheduled for a land development called “Estates on Lookout Mountain” at Cloudland. The commission issued a notice about that meeting, but posted that the address for the development was on “Back Valley Road” – which is in Lyerly, not Cloudland. The proposed development is on Stateline Road at Cloudland.

Mohawk Will Pay More For City Sewer Services
Local News, Local News Items 0
At Monday’s Summerville City Council meeting, council members heard from the city manager that the cost to treat waste water coming from the Mohawk plant at the city’s industrial park is costing about 40% more than the current surcharge that Mohawk is assessed each month on their water bill. Recently, repairs were made to a sewer line at the plant. The city asked Mohawk if they would participate in the cost of replacing the line, which Mohawk declined. Council members told WZQZ News that the surcharge for treating Mohawk’s wastewater is reviewed every four years and the last time the assessment was done was in 2020. In the end, the council voted to increase the surcharge to cover the increased costs in a 2-1 vote with Councilman Rickey Hughes voting against the measure. Councilman Joe Money abstained from voting since he is employed by Mohawk Industries.
