Board authorizes attorney to proceed with condemnations for Florence Byron Parkway partials
Summary
Rankin County authorized its attorney to begin condemnation proceedings for partial Parcel 2 and Parcel 12 of the Florence Byron Parkway project; Jay moved the measure and Scott seconded it, and the motion carried.
The Rankin County Board authorized the county attorney to proceed with condemnation proceedings for partial Parcel 2 and Parcel 12 related to the Florence Byron Parkway project, according to the meeting record.
A county speaker requested a motion to authorize the attorney to proceed with condemnations for the two partial parcels. The transcript records that Jay made the motion and Scott seconded it; a subsequent voice vote was recorded as "Motion carries."
The transcript does not include a roll call or record the vote tally by member name, and it does not specify anticipated costs, timetables for condemnation, or which parcels are partial takes versus full parcels. The request appears to be limited to authorizing the attorney to initiate condemnation; no final acquisition outcomes were recorded during the meeting.
Board members then recessed and later moved to adjourn; the condemnation authorization was made before the recess.
