Pitt County Board of Commissioners Meeting

At its November 2, 2026 meeting, the Pitt County Board of Commissioners approved a 48-month extension of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s lease in the county agricultural center. The USDA’s three agencies—Rural Development, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Farm Service Agency—will occupy a reduced footprint, with a higher rent per square foot negotiated to reflect current market conditions. The board also approved increasing the Consolidated Human Services Board from 15 to 17 members, adding two seats for consumers of human services; the county plans to advertise the seats and bring appointment recommendations back to the commissioners. No other specific contract awards, bids, or procurement amounts were identified.

The board also approved proclamations recognizing Operation Green Light for Veterans and National Homelessness Awareness Month, received administrative updates, and held a closed session that included discussion of industry location or expansion. The transcript does not report details or related actions from that closed session.
