FOIA Request to Town of Woodland regarding new or amended contracts on February 1, 2026.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by Old North News to the Town of Woodland in North Carolina. The request seeks access to records related to new contracts and amendments to existing contracts that were executed, approved, or became effective during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The requested information includes the title of each contract or amendment, names of contracting parties, effective and approval dates, contract amounts or amended values, and descriptions of the goods or services covered. The request emphasizes that it seeks existing records only and does not require the creation of new documents.
Old North News has expressed a preference for receiving these records in electronic format if available. Additionally, they have requested a fee waiver citing their role as a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. The request also notes that any denial should be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for withholding information while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records.
The FOIA request is made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. ยง132-1., and aims to gather information for public dissemination as part of Old North News’s commitment to providing comprehensive coverage on local governmental affairs.
