Geneva County awarded roughly $667,000 Seeds Grant to buy 100 acres for Industrial Park
Summary
Chairman Toby Seay said the county received a State Seeds Grant of approximately $667,000 to acquire about 100 acres for the Industrial Park; county attorney said a public hearing and a resolution to amend park boundaries will be required before closing.
Geneva County officials told commissioners on Feb. 9 that the county has been awarded a State Seeds Grant of approximately $667,000 to acquire about 100 acres to expand the county Industrial Park. Chairman Toby Seay presented the award information during the meeting; County Attorney Phil Eldridge advised that a public hearing will be required to change the Industrial Park boundary before the grant-funded acquisition can close.
Eldridge told commissioners: "when this is closer to closing a public hearing must be held to change the boundaries of an existing Industrial Park." No formal motion to accept the grant was recorded in the minutes during this meeting; staff described the award as competitive and advised that additional procedural steps (public hearing and resolution) will be needed prior to acquisition and boundary changes.
Commission staff asked the board to note that grant closing and boundary-change processes will include public notice and a formal resolution. The meeting minutes do not specify the grant's exact terms or any required local match; those financial details were not recorded in the Feb. 9 minutes.
