It has been getting $150,000 a year from Congress to figure out how to do this.
Bob Dodson with the commission says it’s been a difficult process to draw up a plan because it involves more states than just Georgia.
“Over the past four years, there have been about 21 meetings in the four states to decide what direction that should be.”
Yet they still have not decided on a direction. Today’s public meeting did not announce a final plan either. Dodson expects a finalized plan by the spring to be submitted for review.
