News About
Groveland Lake
Bill Greer, Executive Director
of the Georgia Southern Area
Planning and Development
Commission, discussed the
Groveland Lake with members
of the Evans County Veterans
and Auxiliary in Claxton re
cently. Mr. Greer outlined his
past efforts to gain support for
this project saying that he had
talked to over 100 citizens’
groups in this area and dis
cussed it with numerous indi
viduals and has found wide
spread support for the project.
Mr. Greer went on to point out
the tremendous economic im
pact that the lake is expected
to have. "The economists tell
us,” he said “that within ten
years after its completion it
will have attracted SSO million
in investment in this area.” This
investment would offer attrac
tions that would bring money
here that is now being spent in
vacation resorts in Florida and
other areas. He went on to say
that investment companies
from all over the U. S. have al
ready shown an interest in
building sizeable developments
on the shores of this lake.
Mr. Greer went on to discuss
the recent formation of the
Groveland Authority. He point
ed out that this has created ad
ditional interest in the project.
One by-product of this interest
has been that rumors concern
ing the project have been wide
ly circulated. Mr. Greer point
ed out that the only meeting
that has been held was the or
ganizational meeting, and that
no policies have been set by the
Authority. Mr. Greer urged
that interested citizens stay
well informed on the projects
progress and that the facts be
learned rather than making de
cisions based on rumors.
Mr. Dixie Harn of Pembroke,
Georgia, Chairman of the Au
thority, said “This Groveland
Project will do more for us in
this section than anything I can
think of, but it will take every
one working together to put it
over. If we work together, we
can carry it to completiton.”

everything possible is being

doubt and that is more or less
the condition of our good
friend Grover Denmark.
He is one of the gamest
fighter that e have ever
seen, and still says that he
knows his fight is a hard one,
but he still says that he be
lieves he will whip the fight
and return to Pembroke and
his many friends.
Mr. Denmark is Command

man, who came to Pembroke
and got married and was liv

when he was struck done with
a serious trouble and has been

Grover and hope that in some
way it will be possible for
him to return home and his
loved ones.
