The Sumter County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a major special‑use permit amendment (STU25‑000039) to expand a sand excavation site by 73.04 acres, increasing the operation to about 172.97 acres.
County administrator Bradley Arnold submitted the staff report and said staff and the planning & zoning special master recommended approval; Ed Absher, the project engineer, appeared to answer questions but had no substantive additional presentation. There were no affected‑party public speakers present to testify; staff said 15 notices had been sent to property owners within 500 feet.
Commissioner Bogue moved to approve the amendment and the motion was seconded; the board voted unanimously in favor. The approval reflects the special‑use permit adjustment only; related permits, conditions of operation and monitoring obligations remain subject to the county’s land development code and any state permit requirements.
