There is a meeting tomorrow night at the Central Assembly of God in Haughton on the Big Hill to the right just past Louisiana Downs, it starts at 6 PM. Please attend
I went to the Stockwell meeting, but i live on Wafer Road in Haughton, that was my starting point and from there i met other people and finally found a group that was meeting in my home location. I went to any meeting i could to learn about this stuff.
Anyone can attend, i would suggest you network at this meeting to find something closer to your home location like i did.
July 10th at 6:30 PM, The last meeting before negotiations will begin will be held at Love Chapel, "across from Wafer road on hwy 80, close to Platt Elementary School". Susan is the group negotiator and from i understand she grouped together Sections 11, 12, and 2. With These sections grouped together we should get a better deal. I got an email from a Geologist i know and he said the going rate in Shreveport, Ellerbe road area now is 17.5 to 21 per acre.
There must be another Stockwell/Carriage Oaks area group. I went to the meeting last night and there must have been 500 people or more. Most of us have elected to be represented by a geologist by the name of G.E. "Jerry" Merrill. Yes, he is asking for a small fee but I expect to get more than that back in protection and money. You can contact him at gemerrill@bellsouth.net
Nobody has to follow what their association or neighbor is doing. Do what is best for you personally but joining a group of some kind sounds like the best option for increased protection and dollars.
