Commissioners permit Gadbury Road grading to allow turbine blade transport
Summary
The board approved modifications to a hill on Gadbury Road to permit transport of wind‑turbine blades; the work will affect the driveway at 3624 S Gadbury Road and was approved 3–0 on a motion by Commissioner Borgenheimer.
The county authorized White Construction to cut down a hill on Gadbury Road so turbine blades can be transported through the route. Highway Superintendent John Pluimer told the commissioners the change will affect the driveway at 3624 S Gadbury Road; Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer moved to permit the modification, Commissioner Laura Coons seconded, and the motion passed 3–0.
Pluimer also noted preparations related to turbine installation, including moving a crane onto site and coordinating with contractors. The board did not specify compensation or a restoration plan for the affected driveway in the meeting record; Pluimer indicated the modification is needed to meet the transport dimensions for the blades.
