McBee council approves first reading to annex 28 acres for NETC
Summary
At its April 1 meeting, the Town of McBee approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-6 to annex two parcels totaling 28 acres for NETC, with council members voting unanimously to advance the ordinance; officials said county partners will pave a road through the site and hope to break ground in the fall.
The Town of McBee council on April 1 approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-6, Section 5-3-100, to annex two parcels totaling 28 acres for NETC.
Attorney Martin Driggers read the ordinance at the public hearing and Mayor Glenn Odom said both the landowners and the town support annexation. Odom told the council that County Councilman Eddie Kirkley has coordinated with the county pavement commission and county administrator to pave the road through the middle of the Tech site, and that officials hope to break ground in the fall.
Mayor Odom moved to approve the first reading; Councilman James Linton seconded the motion and the council recorded "All in favor," advancing the ordinance by unanimous vote. No further discussion or recorded objections were made during the public hearing.
The ordinance is identified in the minutes as Ordinance 2025-6, Section 5-3-100. Members of the public asked for clarification about the exact location and specifications of the parcels during the public comment portion; the council closed public comment after those questions.
Next steps on annexation typically include any additional readings or procedural steps required by town ordinance before final adoption; the council did not record a final adoption vote on April 1.
