Wellborn is in District 4 and we are represented by Phil Oxendine, who was the speaker at Wellborn Neighborhood Watch March meeting (always the final Thursday of the month, starts @ 7 with a shared supper @ the Blake Lowe building next to Wellborn Park) Our commissioner foreshadowed April 19 (10 A.M.) County Commission meeting as the date to learn if a good light industry for Suwannee County has accepted the deal offered. Its product is connected with lumber and the site for the plant to be built is @ 10 and 90.
Many other Commission business items were glimpsed. The WNW members had questions relevant to our hometown: The unsightly trailers at CR137 and US90, The CSX crossing on CR137 in need of repair, red/green traffic light on US90 and CR 137, and of course the on-going paving roads need. Our commissioner reminded us that the price tag is $175000 per mile and his total money to spend on in a year is $500,000. Mr Oxendine urges citizen interest in the commission meetings and the WNW reciprocated with an invitation to him to come to WNW meetings. He encouraged us and appreciated the invitation.
