Rankin County authorizes $160,000 payment to acquire all of Parcel 26
Summary
At a Rankin County meeting, officials authorized a $160,000 payment to acquire all of Parcel 26 for a project, accepting a landowner counteroffer and treating the remaining land as a non‑economic remnant.
Rankin County officials authorized payment of $160,000 to acquire the entirety of Parcel 26 after accepting a landowner counteroffer, county staff said.
County staff explained that, instead of acquiring only a portion of the property as previously planned, the county would pay a total of $160,000 and record an administrative adjustment of $100,000 so the county could obtain the full parcel; the remaining portion would be declared a non‑economic remnant. The request included authorization for staff to issue a check in exchange for the appropriate documents.
The motion to approve the payment was made and seconded at the meeting and was adopted after a voice vote. No roll‑call vote was recorded in the transcript.
The discussion of Parcel 26 and the subsequent motion occurred during the same agenda item; speakers identified in the record did not provide additional detail about funding sources, timeline for closing, or specific deed instruments required. Those details were not specified in the transcript.
The action authorizes staff to complete acquisition steps described at the meeting; the transcript does not indicate further administrative steps, third‑party approvals, or the effect on any related parcels beyond labeling the remainder a non‑economic remnant.
