Raeford council votes to submit $1.3 million offer for Johnson Concrete property
Summary
The Raeford City Council voted unanimously to submit a $1.3 million offer for the Johnson Concrete property on South Stewart Street after executive‑session discussion; the motion was made by Councilman Charles Allen and seconded by Councilman Johnny Boyles.
The Raeford City Council voted to submit an offer of $1.3 million to purchase the Johnson Concrete property on South Stewart Street. Councilman Charles Allen moved the motion; Councilman Johnny H. Boyles seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
City Manager Dennis Baxley told the council in executive session that Johnson Concrete Company was asking $1.3 million for the site. After discussion in the closed attorney‑client session, council members agreed to proceed with the offer and returned to open session where the motion was recorded.
The purchase was handled as a city direction to pursue acquisition; no financing details, contingency terms, or closing timeline were stated on the record. The council did not record a formal vote tally by name in the minutes beyond reporting the motion as unanimously carried. The council had earlier made the same motion in open session before adjourning to seat newly elected members and later discussed the asking price in executive session.
