Planning commission tables utility-corridor amendment until after September routing announcement
Summary
After extensive public comment, commissioners unanimously voted to table the comprehensive‑plan amendment that would designate preferred utility corridors until after a September announcement about the 765 kV route, citing a need for additional study and state input.
The Buckingham County Planning Commission voted unanimously to table consideration of a proposed comprehensive-plan amendment that would designate preferred utility/transmission corridors. Commissioners cited the volume of public comment, unfinished staff materials and the pending announcement of a 765 kV transmission-line route in September as reasons to pause action.
One commissioner (speaker 1) recommended waiting for the September routing information so the county would have more data before making policy: “It gives you a little bit more information on where that major line is going,” the commissioner said. Another commissioner suggested seeking state assistance to review corridors and to better inform decision-making. The commission instructed staff to bring the item back in September for further consideration after the routing announcement.
