Lowndes: RFPs for land-use development around CAFB

Lowndes County officials are in the midst of requesting consultant proposals to assist in the implementation of recommendations from an early 2013 Joint Land Use study regarding economic development of property around Columbus Air Force Base that is compatible with military operations. Those requests for proposals will allow the county to determine what property is suitable for development without affecting CAFB's mission. In the interim, Lowndes got a federal grant to hire a planner to update maps of the property around CAFB. The RFP deadline is Nov. 29. Source: Columbus Dispatch, Nov. 19, 2013.
