County reviews Birch Creek Energy road-use plan; county attorney to review agreement
Summary
Adair County commissioners met with Birch Creek Energy on April 1 to discuss a private road the company proposes to build to limit traffic on Pasture Lane; the commission sent the draft road-use agreement to the county attorney for review.
On April 1, 2026, the Adair County Commission met with Grant Matthews of Birch Creek Energy and discussed a proposed private road to reduce traffic on Pasture Lane. Matthews told the commission the company plans to build a private access road and that Pasture Lane would be used only for substation construction related to the project. The minutes show the commission has forwarded the proposed road-use agreement to the county attorney for legal review prior to any acceptance.
KTVO reporter Julia Thomas was present for the discussion. The minutes do not report a decision or a vote; they record the discussion and an attorney review step. The commission’s minutes also record a courthouse site visit with Charles Horton of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ State Historic Preservation Office on the same day, and note the courthouse’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places since June 3, 2008.
No residents or formal written objections are recorded in the minutes for the Birch Creek discussion; the commission will await legal review before taking further action.
