File a public-records request — 90 seconds, fully fillable.
The Edwardsville, Illinois data-center project did not move forward after the Illinois Answers Project obtained approximately two dozen emails between Cloverleaf and city officials via public records — emails that contradicted the city's public claim of "no formal proposal." Lowndes County's equivalents are filable today, by any resident, under Alabama's Open Records Act. The template below covers the categories most likely to expose the same pattern.
NOTE — The default email recipient is Kelsie Garrett, Clerk of the Lowndes County Commission Office, who routes correspondence. Some agencies prefer mailed paper requests; when in doubt, send both. Keep a copy of every request and every reply.
