Council grants second reading to ordinance enlarging Sumter‑Lee Industrial Park
Summary
Sumter County Council granted second reading on Nov. 8 to an ordinance amending the Sumter‑Lee Industrial Park master agreement to enlarge the park to include property owned or operated by Honey Solar, LLC; third reading will include a public hearing before final adoption.
Sumter County Council on Nov. 8 granted second reading to Ordinance #22‑981, which would amend the master agreement governing the Sumter‑Lee Industrial Park (dated Dec. 31, 2012) with Lee County to enlarge the park’s boundaries to include property owned or operated by Honey Solar, LLC.
County Attorney Johnathan Bryan presented the ordinance and described it as an amendment to the existing master agreement; Bryan said the measure also authorizes related actions. There were no questions from council and the motion for second reading was approved unanimously. A public hearing will be held at the third reading before final adoption.
Why it matters: Enlarging the industrial park could facilitate placement or expansion of industrial or renewable energy operations within the park’s governance framework and could affect inter‑county arrangements with Lee County under the master agreement.
What happens next: The ordinance will return for a third reading that includes a public hearing prior to final passage.
