Last week, the City of Landrum filed a complaint in the Seventh Judicial Court challenging the Town of Campobello’s recent annexations. The litigation challenges the procedures and the possible violation of state annexation laws. The Town of Campobello’s most recent annexation surrounds land already within the southern city limits of the City of Landrum in the vicinity of Landrum Mill Road and Frank Clinton Road. The City of Landrum further believes the recent annexation violates Landrum’s longstanding Intergovernmental Agreement with Spartanburg Water that requires new water users in the Landrum Water Service Area to annex into the city limits of Landrum upon development.

Landrum Mayor Bob Briggs stated that “The City of Landrum has spent years working to ensure the City of Landrum practices responsible planning. The City of Landrum believes that these unwarranted and improper efforts by the Town of Campobello do a disservice to our residents as well as create confusion for future residents in the boundaries of the Campobello annexed areas.”
