About the Board

The Valdosta-Lowndes County Development Authority (VLCDA) is governed by a board appointed by the City of Valdosta and Lowndes County, with members serving five-year terms. Established in 1960 through an amendment to the Georgia Constitution, the VLCDA works to support economic growth, business recruitment, and community investment throughout Valdosta-Lowndes County.

The VLCDA is funded by Lowndes County through a dedicated countywide millage rate. The Board of Directors meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at 103 Roosevelt Drive in Valdosta, unless otherwise notified.
