Colleton County approves first reading for temporary lease to Causie Contracting to stage I-95 repaving work
Summary
Council approved first reading of an ordinance authorizing a temporary lease with Causie Contracting, Inc. to stage personnel and equipment on county-owned acreage near Maple Ridge Road for the I-95 repaving project between St. George and Point South; the staging is expected to last about 12–18 months.
Colleton County Council advanced first reading of an ordinance (22-O-02) authorizing a temporary lease agreement with Causie Contracting, Inc. to stage personnel and equipment related to the I-95 repaving project stretching from St. George to Point South.
County Administrator Kevin Griffin told council the contractor requested use of acreage near the Maple Ridge Road fire station to stage equipment and personnel for the repaving work, which Griffin said is expected to last roughly 12–18 months. "We have a good bit of acreage around the fire station and they asked if they could do a temporary leasing of that site, so that they can stage their equipment and personnel," Griffin said in the minutes.
Councilman Art Williams moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance 22-O-02; Councilman Gene Whetsell seconded and the motion carried unanimously on first reading. The minutes do not specify lease terms (rent, security, insurance requirements) or an exact start date; they record only that the county will "get the Ordinance started this month." Final lease approval would require subsequent steps per the ordinance process.
