Council authorizes condemnation to acquire three easements for Florence Global Technology Park sewer project
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing condemnation to obtain three remaining easements needed for the wastewater force main serving Florence Global Technology Park after certified appraisals and outreach failed to produce agreements; total offered compensation for remaining parcels: $18,910.
County staff told council that Florence County, working with the City of Florence and the South Carolina Department of Commerce, needs three remaining temporary and permanent easements to build a wastewater force main serving Florence Global Technology Park. Staff said appraisals were prepared and provided to property owners and certified letters were sent; because responses were not received, staff asked for authority to proceed with condemnation to keep the project on schedule.
A county representative said the total offered compensation for the outstanding parcels is $18,910 and that those funds will come from economic development capital project funds. Council approved the resolution authorizing condemnation by voice vote after staff outlined prior good‑faith outreach and appraisal availability.
