• City Roundup: Lexington DDA looks for members to make quorum (theoglethorpeecho.com) — Lexington's Downtown Development Authority is currently unable to conduct business because a recent resignation left it short of the four members needed for a quorum, though one new applicant may restore operations soon. City leaders also detailed rising water system costs, well repairs, and insurance claims, while nearby towns like Maxeys, Arnoldsville, and Crawford reported on local projects and infrastructure work.
