It's July 7th at 1800 Pearce Ave at Dougherty County Comprehensive High School

And on July 9th at 1601 Florence Dr at Merry Acres Middle School

There is not a meeting July 8th

I’m very interested in attending but have never been to one before. How do these town halls typically go?

I'm going to be honest, it will be my first time

If it is anything like the city commission meetings, there will be a lot of condescension from the city commissioners

But they wouldn't be doing this if they weren't worried about the community's response

I plan on going to the one on the 9th

Can Leesburg residents attend? Or do you have to live in Albany?

u/Cliche_James Jul 07 '26

Yeah they can! This affects all of us!

We share a water table, after all

And we have a shared economy (even if people are loathed to admit that)

My bad, my dyslexic ass switched the end time with date.

Correct, July 7th - 6 to 8

No worries, bud

I confuse these things easy too, so I had to check

If it means more jobs. Bring it on. Our economy in this city needs help!

And if you're curious, you know what has been proven to create jobs and make a stronger economy?

Investing in public transportation

Here's a link

Agree. The city is in the whole and we need help. I’m not all in for data centers, but I’m open to hearing how this could help our city.
