Commissioners add Blue Heron to road‑use agreement, discuss bond and road damage from solar project
Summary
Commissioners added Blue Heron to a road‑use agreement tied to a solar project and discussed a $500,000 bond set to expire in January to cover road damage; staff said project activity is currently damaging county roads and a meeting with the project manager and contractor was planned.
Brown County’s commissioners added Blue Heron to a road‑use agreement governing a solar project and discussed the status of a $500,000 bond intended to cover road repairs for contractor impacts.
A presenter said the company’s project equipment was traveling on county roads and causing damage: "They're violating the road use agreement as we speak ... we need to get them on the agreement." The court approved adding Blue Heron to the existing agreement; staff reported the bond is set to expire in January and said they would meet with the project manager and contractor to discuss repair work and whether a new bond or an extension is required.
Commissioners discussed whether the bond amount would cover necessary repairs and asked staff to press the project manager for a plan to restore impacted road segments. The motion to add Blue Heron passed unanimously.
