Loading...
Summary
The commission approved a $250,000 purchase (including closing costs) of a parcel on East 5th Street in Bay Minette to support future county campus planning and facility expansion near the courthouse and jail complex.
County administration requested and the commission approved authority to purchase a parcel on East 5th Street in Bay Minette for $250,000 (including closing costs) to support future county facilities and provide room for expansion near existing judicial and correctional facilities.
County staff said the parcel fills out a remaining block north of the county correctional facility and will help the county pursue a campus approach to long-term facility planning in Bay Minette and neighboring jurisdictions. County administrators described the purchase as a forward-looking step to accommodate additional judges and county services as Baldwin County grows.
Commissioner McKenzie moved to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Officials said acquisition is the first step in a larger campus master-planning effort and will allow planning for courts and other county needs.
