On February 1, 2026, Pinehurst Today submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Town of Troy in North Carolina. The request was made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1., and seeks access to procurement bids and responses to requests for proposals (RFPs) received by the city during the immediately preceding calendar month.
The records requested include details such as solicitation or project titles, names of bidders or proposers, submission dates, bid amounts or proposed costs, and descriptions of the goods or services proposed. The purpose of this request is to gather information of public interest for dissemination to the public. Pinehurst Today emphasized that this request is limited to existing records and does not require the creation of new documents.
The requestor has also asked for any denied portions of the request to be accompanied by a specific statutory basis for denial while releasing all reasonably segregable portions of the records. Furthermore, they expressed willingness to receive these records in electronic format if available. As a member of the media, Pinehurst Today seeks a fee waiver based on their role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency.
