In 1969, the state legislature of Georgia created the Groveland Lakes Development Authority. The purpose of the Authority was to study the feasibility of creating a recreational lake by damming the Canoochee River at Groveland. This would have meant flooding almost 20,000 acres of land, mostly in Evans County but partly in Bulloch, Candler, and Bryan Counties. The Authority also had the power of eminent domain, or the right to evict those presently located on the land where the Groveland Lakes Project would be located. The Canoochee River Valley Association was formed by the farmers and other people whose land was located within the proposed lake site. Although their initial concern was mainly with the Authority's power of eminent domain, the Association also acted as an organization for opposition to the project, gathering data about the economic, ecological and preservation problems involved with the project. Eventually, the project was defeated. Glenda Durrence Edwards was secretary of the Association, her brother Kenneth Durrence served as president.
