County says deed and $1.2 million for Walmart Park have not been received
Summary
A commissioner asked whether the county has received a deed and about $1.2 million for the Walmart Park on Moody Road; a county speaker said neither the deed nor the funds have been received and the matter is with the county manager's staff.
A commissioner asked the Clay County Commission during its public comments period whether the county has received a deed and the roughly $1.2 million tied to construction of the Walmart Park on Moody Road. "Have we received the deed and or the, I believe, 1,200,000.0 of, money related to the construction of of that," the commissioner asked (Speaker 2).
A county representative (Speaker 3) said the county has not received either the deed or the funds and added that the issue had been passed to the county manager's staff for follow-up. "The answer is that, we haven't received either," Speaker 3 said, noting that the county had not been told Walmart was no longer interested and that the delay appeared to be a timing issue.
Why it matters: the deed and funds are prerequisites to moving forward on the project parcel and related construction. The transcript does not provide a schedule for resolution, nor does it identify any formal county action or vote to accept property or funding at this meeting.
What the commission said it would do: Speaker 3 said the county manager's staff is in contact with Walmart and "it is being worked on," but provided no firm timeline. No formal motion, vote, or directive recorded in the transcript authorized acceptance, expenditure, or reallocation of those funds during this meeting.
Status and next steps: Commissioners did not vote on the matter; the matter remains with county staff for follow-up. The commission recessed without setting a public deadline for resolution.
