The Tuscaloosa County Commission voted unanimously March 4 to authorize Probate Judge Ward D. “Rob” Robertson III to execute a contract for purchase of property related to a development identified as “Project Market,” with a purchase price not to exceed $3.7 million. The commission made the authorization after reconvening from an executive session.
Commissioner Mark C. Nelson moved for the authorization and Commissioner Stan Acker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The contract and specific terms will be finalized by attorneys for both parties before closing.
The action follows an executive session earlier in the meeting; the commission provided no further public details about the property or the purchaser during open session. The commission’s motion limited the trustee’s authority to a purchase price “not to exceed 3.7 million dollars,” per the motion approved in open session.
No vote tallies beyond the unanimous approval were recorded in the meeting minutes. The commission adjourned to its next regular meeting on March 18, 2026.
