Oakway woman pitches battle against development

An Oakway resident, who is a former Florida resident, registered a plea at last night’s meeting of the Oconee County Council, for Oconeeans to be better stewards of the land.  In blunt language to the county fathers, Hannah Lowe suggested there are a number of Oconeeans who believe county government has fallen “into the hands of developers.”  Lowe hails from Miami-Dade County, Florida which she says has lost a lot of its natural resources to the development that has helped make South Florida a major tourist and residential section.
