Resident appeals Adams Road closure; commissioners discuss potential litigation in executive session

Troup County Board of Commissioners · April 7, 2026

Summary

Albert Gilliam Jr. appealed the closure of Adams Road and urged bridge repairs to restore access; commissioners later discussed potential litigation over Adams Road in executive session and scheduled further consideration for April 21.

Albert Gilliam Jr., representing New Harmony Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and the New Harmony community, addressed the board April 7 to appeal what he described as a decision to close Adams Road. Gilliam asked commissioners to repair the bridge and reopen the road, noting it is a vital access route used by worshipers and district churches; he said the closure had forced funeral processions to detour and arrive late.

After public comment and other agenda items, the board entered executive session to discuss a potential legal matter. When the board returned to open session, the chair reported that Adams Road and potential litigation involving the closure were discussed in executive session; no action was taken immediately, and the item was scheduled for follow‑up discussion at the April 21 meeting.

No formal order reopening Adams Road was issued at this meeting; the board placed the matter on the next meeting agenda for further consideration.
