Franklin County commissioners approved a commission order consenting to a City of Washington annexation that transfers roughly 43.186 acres of county land to the city, the meeting record shows. County officials described the annexation as property that would ultimately support a planned road extension project.
A county speaker said the tract involved is "about 43 acres" and quoted a more precise figure of 43.186 acres during discussion. Commissioners characterized the action as giving up county property to the City of Washington to facilitate development and infrastructure extension. The commission approved the order by motion; the chair announced the vote as "all in favor" and the motion carried.
Meeting remarks tied the annexation to local road planning, referencing that the annexed ground would ultimately lead to extension of a four-lane project, though no formal road project approval or funding decision was made at this meeting. The transcript did not include the annexation ordinance number or details about property owners, compensation, or specific zoning changes. Those specifics were not specified at the meeting and would appear in the city annexation ordinance and county records.
