Florence board backs Steens's Creek Landing project and infrastructure support
Summary
The Florence mayor and aldermen unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the Steens's Creek Landing industrial-park development and pledged to pursue infrastructure investments, including sewer work and park signage, in partnership with Rankin First and Rankin County; no project funding amounts were specified.
The Florence mayor and board on Aug. 5 unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the Steens's Creek Landing industrial-park project and pledged to invest in public infrastructure to support development.
Alderman Mason Herrin moved adoption of the resolution, saying the city intends to invest in sewer infrastructure, park signage and “other necessary investments” to further the industrial park. Alderman Brian Grantham seconded the motion, which carried on a unanimous vote.
The resolution names Rankin First and Rankin County as intended partners but does not specify dollar amounts, timelines, or exact projects to be funded. City officials did not provide specific cost estimates or an implementation schedule in the minutes.
The action recorded in the minutes is a statement of support and partnership intent; the resolution does not itself appropriate funds. The board took the vote as part of its regular meeting agenda and did not attach additional funding or a motion to authorize immediate expenditures.
