Rankin County board adds two right-of-way items, approves land offers for Florence Parkway and Gunner Road
Summary
The Rankin County Board of Supervisors voted to add two right-of-way items to the agenda, accepted a landowner counteroffer of $205,000 for a Florence Parkway parcel and established just compensation of $28,650 for a Gunner Road parcel, authorizing the board president to execute required documents.
At a public meeting, the Rankin County Board of Supervisors added two right-of-way items to the agenda and approved motions to acquire property needed for road projects.
The board voted to accept a landowner counteroffer of $205,000 for a parcel identified in the meeting as the "Box" parcel (also referred to in the discussion as the "BOGS" parcel) related to the Florence Parkway project, and to establish just compensation in the amount of $28,650 for the Richard and Rhonda Harris parcel for the Gunner Road Improvement Project. The board also authorized the board president to execute documents associated with both actions.
The items were introduced after the board returned from executive session; a staff member asked that two matters be added under additional business: the response to a landowner counteroffer on the Florence Parkway project and establishment of just compensation for the Gunner Road Improvement Project. A board member moved to add both items; the motion passed.
On the Florence Parkway item, the board authorized acceptance of a landowner counteroffer for the Box parcel in the total amount of $205,000. The meeting record notes the motion carried.
On the Gunner Road item, the board established just compensation in the total amount of $28,650 for the Richard and Rhonda Harris parcel and gave authority to the county's right-of-way consultant to extend the offer to Ms. Harris. The motion passed and included authority for the board president to execute all documents related to both transactions.
Separately, a board member made a motion to recess the meeting to Jan. 15; that motion was made and carried.
The meeting transcript does not record roll-call vote tallies or identify which members voted for or against the motions; it records brief verbal assent ("Aye" and "Motion carried").
