Long County gives first reading to County Manager ordinance after public hearing on comprehensive plan amendments
Summary
Following a public hearing that drew no comments, the Long County Board received the first reading of a County Manager ordinance intended to amend the county charter and adjust zoning‑related acreage provisions.
The Long County Board of Commissioners received the first reading of a County Manager Ordinance on Jan. 7, 2025, after opening and closing a public hearing that drew no written or verbal public comment.
Chairman James Craft opened the hearing on proposed amendments to the Long County and City of Ludowici Comprehensive Plan and stated the amendment would affect the city. After noting there were no comments, the chairman closed the hearing at 6:05 p.m.
County Attorney James Smith then read the County Manager Ordinance for its first reading. The minutes indicate the ordinance would amend the county charter to introduce a county manager and to adjust zoning regulations regarding acreage, but provide no further detail about the text of the ordinance or a schedule for subsequent readings and adoption.
No board votes on final adoption were recorded at the Jan. 7 meeting; the minutes record only the first reading. The board did not record any public testimony for or against the charter changes during the hearing.
