Gibson County approves road‑use agreement to extend County Road 450 East
Summary
The Gibson County commissioners approved a road‑use agreement to extend County Road 450 East into a farm entrance, authorizing a roughly half‑mile west extension and about 800 feet of upgrades on 350 East; the agreement will be signed and recorded.
Gibson County commissioners voted May 6 to approve a road‑use agreement (RUA) extending County Road 450 East (100 North and 350 East) into an existing farm entrance.
Ed Hatzenberg described the project as “basically just gonna be extending from 50 and 50 north, basically half a mile back to the west and then 800 foot north on 350 East,” and said the work may require upgrades to the farm entrance. The commission asked that an original contract be provided for signatures when available.
Chair (name not provided in the transcript) called for a motion to approve the extension; a commissioner moved and a colleague seconded the motion, which passed by voice vote. Commissioners signaled that one original signed copy should be retained for county records.
Why it matters: the work will formalize a county approach to road access and place responsibility for upgrades with the agreement’s terms, enabling the county to document the work and move forward with any related bidding, permitting and signing. The board did not discuss detailed cost estimates or a construction schedule in the meeting.
Next steps: staff will provide the final executed agreement for signatures and recordkeeping; any required upgrades or additional engineering details will be handled through the county’s normal project and permitting process.
