Commissioners approve road actions, name Register Farms Lane and appoint Rosemary Simpson to library board

The Sampson County Board of Commissioners took several routine infrastructure and personnel actions at its December meeting.

After a brief public hearing, the board voted to name PBT421TBDash6600 as Register Farms Lane on the road-naming committee's recommendation. The board also approved a resolution supporting N.C. DOT’s request to abandon two state roads (State Road 1655 and 1611), noting that abandonment transfers maintenance responsibility to property owners. Commissioners further approved recommending several roads, including those in Stagecoach Estates near Autryville, for addition to the state-maintained secondary road system.

In personnel actions, vice chair moved to appoint Rosemary Simpson to the library board to fill a vacancy for a four-year term beginning Jan. 2026; the motion was seconded and carried.

Each of the items passed by motion and vote during the meeting’s regular business.
