Commission approves right-of-way payments for Hereford Farm Road widening project
Summary
The board approved three property payments totaling $34,500 to obtain easements and rights-of-way for the Hereford Farm Road widening project, which county staff said is about 88% complete.
The Columbia County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 5 approved right-of-way acquisitions totaling $34,500 for the Hereford Farm Road widening project. The recorded motions authorized payments of $7,100 to Anne Tapley (Parcel 072 B 140), $5,400 to Ryan and Bridal Rainer (Parcel 072 J 119) and $22,000 to Catherine Green and Brantley Chinyu (Parcel 060005 D) to obtain rights of way and easements.
Planning staff described these as standard acquisitions tied to the Hereford Farm Road project, which was reported as approximately 88% complete. Commissioners moved and seconded the acquisitions and the motion carried.
Why this matters: Right-of-way acquisitions are routine parts of road widening projects; these payments clear title or easement interests necessary to complete construction and reflect direct county expenditures to finish a roadway improvement.
What’s next: With the acquisitions approved, staff may complete property-related steps to finalize the Hereford Farm Road widening project.
