Board approves pipe-replacement petitions and flags Foxglove wind project lease draft
Summary
Board approved four 50/50 township petitions to replace pipes (totaling roughly $52,322) and noted a draft road-use/lease related to the Foxglove wind project in the county's northwest; staff estimated construction in 2028 with potential online date 2029 and requested maps for affected drainage districts.
Shelby County approved a set of 50/50 township petitions to replace damaged drainage pipes caused by recent storms. Staff presented four petitions with estimated costs: $15,292.40; $7,621.25; $10,591.34; and $18,817.66. The petitions were moved and approved by the board.
Staff also brought forward a draft road-use or lease agreement connected to a prospective Foxglove wind project in the northwestern part of the county and said the project would affect several townships. "Anticipate construction 2028 is what anticipated at this time, online 2029," a county staff member said, noting these are rough numbers. Members and public commenters asked for maps of the proposed project area to assist drainage districts and residents; a commenter said the only available map had been circulated on social media and was insufficient for officials and elderly property owners.
The board also approved several stop-sign placements in Flat Branch Township at multiple intersections pursuant to state statute.
