Council advances sale of 3.79 acres at I‑95 and Lynches River Road on second reading
Summary
Following a public hearing on May 13, Sumter County Council granted second reading to Ordinance #25-1025 to sell 3.79 acres at I‑95 and Lynches River Road; the prospective buyer told Council he plans to add the parcel to his farm.
Sumter County Council on May 13 held a public hearing and granted second reading to Ordinance #25-1025, which approves the sale of a 3.79‑acre parcel at Interstate 95 and Lynches River Road.
County Attorney Johnathan Bryan presented the ordinance and provided councilors with the ordinance text and an offer letter from the prospective purchaser. During the public hearing the purchaser, identified only in the minutes as Mr. Locklear, told Council he intends to add the property to his farm. Hearing no further public comment, Chairman James T. McCain Jr. closed the hearing and Vice Chairman James R. Byrd Jr. moved to grant second reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman Artie Baker, passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the sale transfers a small county‑owned parcel adjacent to I‑95 to a private purchaser and will proceed to further readings or closing steps consistent with county policy and the ordinance process.
Next steps: with second reading granted, the sale will follow the county’s subsequent procedural steps toward finalization as provided in the ordinance and offer documents.
