SUMMARY: The former Sheriff's Boys and Girls Ranch in Lowndes County, Mississippi, will return to county control as Palmer Home for Children is ending its lease. The property, which spans about 60 acres, has been largely unused since Palmer Home moved its residential operations out of the area, leading to the ranch being vacant for a few years. The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors has decided to transfer the unleased portion of the property to the Lowndes County Industrial Development Authority and will assume responsibility for its upkeep. The property reverts to county use on July 1.
