Commissioners approve Atmos Energy driveways and multiple Brightspeed fiber permits
Summary
The court approved temporary driveway permits for Atmos Energy related to a 36-inch high‑pressure gas pipeline and several Brightspeed right‑of‑way requests for aerial and underground fiber across multiple county roads; commissioners discussed city limits and referred one segment to the city where appropriate.
Henderson County’s commissioners approved multiple right‑of‑way requests from utilities during the meeting.
Commissioner Spada presented a request from Atmos Energy Corporation to install a temporary driveway on County Road 1500 for a 36‑inch high‑pressure natural gas pipeline project; the court authorized the driveway permit with the commissioners’ signatures. A second Atmos request for a temporary driveway on County Road 3820 (0.99 miles north of Highway 31) for abandonment and installation work was likewise approved.
The court also approved several Brightspeed (listed in transcript as Brightspeed/BrideSpeed/Bridal Speed) permits for aerial and underground installation of fiber along many county roads and for residential fiber connections at specified addresses. Commissioners noted that some work falls within Berryville city limits and that staff had referred those portions to city permitting where appropriate. Each permit was approved with authorization for commissioners to sign.
