Pembroke City Council adopted a freeport tax exemption resolution during the group’s meeting Monday, paving the way for the Bryan County election superintendent to conduct a referendum on whether the city should be to exempt from ad valorem taxation of certain personal property.

The referendum, if passed, will bring Pembroke in line with the freeport exemptions already approved for Bryan County.
