Council approves Leo Port Wentworth development agreement; developer to extend water main
Summary
The City of Port Wentworth approved a development agreement on Oct. 16 that requires the developer to extend a 12-inch water main to Benton Boulevard, a work the city values at about $500,000 and which will connect properties previously lacking water and sewer access.
The City of Port Wentworth City Council unanimously approved a development agreement on Oct. 16 that will extend a 12-inch water main from the Leo Port Wentworth site to Benton Boulevard along Highway 30.
City Manager Steve Davis said the extension will create water and sewer connections for properties that previously lacked access and described the developer’s contribution as valued at approximately $500,000. Davis recommended council approval. The council voted to approve the agreement by unanimous voice vote.
The agreement requires the developer to design and construct the 12-inch main and connect to the city’s water, sewer and stormwater systems. Davis said the developer’s contribution represents a “significant concession” to the city but did not provide a written cost breakdown in the presentation.
Council members did not request further changes on the record, and no members opposed the motion. The council’s approval does not, in transcript remarks, specify timetable or permitting milestones for the work; those implementation details were not provided during the meeting.
Next steps noted by staff include standard permitting and inspection processes; the council did not set a public completion date during the meeting.
