Beaufort County Council voted unanimously Oct. 27 to authorize the county administrator to enter into negotiations with property owners along the Reebaugh Road corridor in the Town of Port Royal to explore potential right-of-way acquisitions.
The motion, presented after the council returned from executive session, instructs the administrator to pursue negotiations and requires that any proposed purchase agreements be brought back to the county council for formal consideration and approval. Council members in the meeting signaled unanimous support among those present.
The item was discussed under an executive-session exemption for negotiations related to the purchase of real property, cited by the council as South Carolina Code §30-4-70(a)(2). The council noted that members Councilman Dawson and Councilman Glover were participating online during the caucus.
No purchase prices, parcel identifications, or funding sources were disclosed during the caucus; the motion limits council action to authorizing negotiations, with any purchase proposals subject to a subsequent public council vote.
