Lincoln County accepts donated land and easement from Olson Farms for Hershey Dickens Road overlay
Summary
On June 22, 2026, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved acceptance of a donated tract and permanent easement from Olson Farms Inc. for the 2026-01 Asphalt Overlay Project on Hershey Dickens Road to straighten the road for safety; the motion passed unanimously.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners on June 22 accepted a deed and permanent easement donated by Olson Farms Inc. to accommodate the 2026-01 Asphalt Overlay Project on Hershey Dickens Road. The easement and land are intended to allow a realignment of the road "to straighten the road for safety reasons," the record states.
The tract is described in the meeting record as a portion of Government Lot 1, Section 6, Township 12 North, Range 32 West of the 6th P.M., Lincoln County, Nebraska. Commissioner Micaela Wuehler moved to approve and authorize the chair to sign the deed and permanent easement; Commissioner Jerry Woodruff seconded the motion. Commissioners Joe Hewgley, Kent Weems, Micaela Wuehler, Chris Bruns and Jerry Woodruff voted "aye." Nays: none.
The donation was made at no cost to the county. The authorization allows county staff to complete the formal conveyance documents and proceed with the overlay project, which the record ties to a 2026 asphalt overlay program (project code 2026-01). The board also recorded routine administrative items and recessed to the Board of Equalization before reconvening to complete other business.
The board file indicates the chair was authorized to sign the deed and permanent easement; the meeting record does not specify a construction timeline or funding breakdown for the overlay beyond the project name.
