Dorchester County Council approves sale of county asphalt plant to Russell Paving Co.
Summary
The County Council unanimously approved the sale of the Dorchester County asphalt plant at 3960 Red Hill Road to Russell Paving Co. Inc. for $300,000 with 20‑year in‑house financing at 5%; a public hearing is the next procedural step.
Dorchester County Council voted unanimously on Dec. 3 to sell the county-owned asphalt plant at 3960 Red Hill Road in Linkwood to Russell Paving Co. Inc. for $300,000, with in‑house financing over a 20‑year term at 5 percent.
Councilman Mike Detmer moved to approve the sale; Councilman Rob Kramer seconded the motion, and the measure passed without dissent. The Council noted the current lease includes a one‑year right of first refusal clause, which the County is within, and said the next step will be to hold a public hearing before finalizing the transaction.
The sale was presented during the open session after the item was added to the agenda earlier in the meeting. Council did not detail specific uses for sale proceeds during the session, nor did minutes record additional conditions beyond the financing term and the confirmation of the lease clause and public‑hearing requirement.
The Council adjourned its meeting at 6:34 p.m.; the public hearing date for the asphalt plant disposition was not specified in the open minutes.
