In a recent Liberty County government meeting held on May 27, 2025, officials discussed several key topics, including a significant property transaction and improvements to internet connectivity for local offices.

One of the primary discussions centered around a property deal involving a tax client and the county. The county faced a proposal to pay $12,000 as part of a larger $1 million transaction, which was ultimately rejected. Instead, the county negotiated a flat fee of $9,000, which was accepted. This agreement allows the property to return to the tax rolls, addressing concerns about its deterioration. The county will cover approximately $3,000 of this fee, with the remaining costs shared among other entities. The approval of this deal is seen as a fair resolution, despite not being ideal, as it clears the way for future development and prevents further decline of the property.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the need for improved internet services for the Liberty County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and the Constable's office. The OEM is set to receive a new 5G cellular connection for $241.45 per month, which will enhance operational capabilities. Similarly, a separate internet solution for the Constable's office is being trialed to address connectivity issues, with hopes that successful implementation could lead to expanded services in rural areas.

Another significant topic was the closing of a land donation from Liberty County Solar Project LLC. The county is set to receive approximately 37.61 acres of land, which could be utilized for future road development. The county will incur about $2,230 in closing costs for this transaction, which is viewed as a crucial step in advancing local economic development initiatives.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the county's proactive approach to managing property assets and enhancing infrastructure, which are essential for supporting community growth and development. The decisions made are expected to have lasting impacts on the county's economic landscape and service delivery capabilities.
