The Development Authority of Floyd County approved terminating a prior purchase-and-sale agreement for 24 acres and authorized a new agreement for 37 acres in the North Floyd Industrial Park, unanimously voting to authorize Chairman Ryan Earnest to sign the new contract.
The Development Authority of Floyd County on March 20 unanimously approved terminating a prior purchase-and-sale agreement for 24 acres and authorized a new purchase-and-sale agreement for 37 acres in the North Floyd Industrial Park, and empowered Chairman Ryan Earnest to sign the new contract.
Board member Sundai Stevenson moved the land transaction motion under the agenda item listed as “Elevated Steel Approval”; Nat Massey seconded. The motion — which included termination of the 24‑acre agreement, approval of the new 37‑acre agreement, and authorization for the chairman to execute the document — passed with votes from Brent Bell, Sundai Stevenson, Nat Massey, Jeff Brooks and Chairman Ryan Earnest.
The action followed a closed executive-session discussion earlier in the meeting to discuss real estate, which the board entered and exited by unanimous motions. Sundai Stevenson moved to enter executive session to discuss real estate; Brent Bell seconded, and the board voted in favor. Brent Bell later moved to exit executive session; Jeff Brooks seconded and the board returned to open session.
The board also approved the minutes from its Feb. 4, 2026 meeting (Jeff Brooks moved; Nat Massey seconded) and then adjourned. All recorded motions and votes at the called meeting were unanimous.
The minutes and the motion record list the site as “North Floyd Industrial Park” and record acreage amounts of 24 acres for the terminated agreement and 37 acres for the newly approved agreement. The record names the agenda item as “Elevated Steel Approval.” The transcript does not specify sale price, development timeline, job estimates, or other commercial terms, nor does it identify the purchaser’s business plans; those details were not provided in the public minutes.
The meeting convened at 1:30 p.m. at 800 Broad Street, Suite 102 in Rome and was adjourned after the recorded actions. No further public hearings or votes on the transaction were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
