Council grants first reading for sale of 3.95-acre parcel near Dover Circle to adjacent owner

Sumter County Council on Sept. 23 granted first reading to Ordinance 25-1035, an application by Adam Bryant to purchase a landlocked parcel near Dover Circle of approximately 3.95 acres for $4,000.

The minutes describe the parcel as a landlocked sewer lagoon the county has no plans to develop. Vice Chairman James R. Byrd Jr. moved for first reading and Councilman Artie Baker seconded; the council granted first reading unanimously.

The item was presented as a first reading only; the minutes do not indicate public comment on the sale or provide a closing schedule, required deeds, or environmental assessments. The applicant is identified in the minutes as the adjacent property owner. Final sale and conveyance will be completed only after further council action in subsequent readings and any required administrative steps.
