The development around the airport has been nothing short of amazing the past 5 years. Much of that success lies with the Link and Joe Max Higgins. Over $1 billion of investment is nothing to sneeze at.
From the SDN article on the new road opening:
“We know that every job that’s been created out there is not filled by a Lowndes County citizen. As we succeed and create jobs, we’re creating opportunities for the counties around us,” said Joe Higgins, the Columbus-Lowndes Development Link’s CEO said Wednesday afternoon.
Higgins has done a great job for his constituents. Where is the rest of the Triangle on this? It isn’t the “Lowndes-Columbus Regional Airport,” but the “Golden Triangle Regional Airport,” equally owned and funded by the all three counties and cities in the Triangle.
The next hire by the GSDP for CEO is one of the most important for this area as any in the past 50 years. Like the pick for MSU president, this one needs to be a grand slam.
isn’t it as plain as the nose on everybody’s face that Joe Max Higgins is the man for this job? do whatever it takes, give him whatever he wants to take over the entire golden triangle area. let’s move forward before it’s too late.
“shirley” makes a valid point.
