Marlboro County Council approves second readings to sell county properties to Project Fountain and Project Lunchbox
Summary
On Aug. 12 the Marlboro County Council approved on second reading Ordinance #872 authorizing sale of the former Marlboro Park Hospital and North Cook Development to "Project Fountain" and Ordinance #873 conveying property to "Project Lunchbox." Both measures passed unanimously.
Chairman Anthony Woods called the meeting to order and the council moved early in the agenda to approve two property-conveyance ordinances on second reading.
Ordinance #872 authorizes the sale of the former Marlboro Park Hospital and the North Cook Development to a prospect identified in the ordinance as "Project Fountain." Dr. Damien Johnson, council member, moved to approve the second reading; Jason Steen seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to carry it.
Ordinance #873 authorizes the execution of a purchase-and-sale agreement conveying county property to "Project Lunchbox" under conditions set out in the agreement. Jason Steen moved the second-reading approval; Charles P. Midgley, Jr., council member, seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
County Administrator Wilson A. Clyburn provided brief administrative comments during the ordinances' consideration. The council recorded no dissenting votes on either second reading. Future transfer details, including closing timelines and specific conveyance conditions required by the purchase-and-sale agreements, were not specified during the meeting.
The council recessed into executive session earlier in the meeting to discuss a personnel matter and returned without taking votes related to the executive session. The ordinances passed on second reading at the Aug. 12 session; the minutes show the council later adopted the meeting record on Sept. 9, 2025.
