Gov. Sonny Perdue’s office announced Monday that he will meet with his counterparts in Florida and Alabama on Dec. 15 concerning the tri-state water dispute.

The meeting will take place at the Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park in Montgomery, Ala.

A news release from Perdue’s office says the governors will “discuss the ongoing water dispute between the three states.” The release does not elaborate, include a meeting agenda or say why they will meet in Alabama.

A spokesperson for Perdue and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist did not immediately respond to messages left at their offices. A spokesman for Alabama Gov. Bob Riley said he would look into the AJC’s questions about the meeting agenda and respond later Monday.
