Albany Utility Board Reaches Rails-to-Trails Agreement
Friday, April 10th, 2015
The Albany Utility Board has hammered out an agreement with Rails-to-Trails officials that will allow the utility authority to use the organization’s 13-mile right-of-way to provide utility services to potential customers in Dougherty, Lee and Terrell counties.
The proposal will be presented to the Albany City Commission at its April 21 work session.
Interim City Manager Tom Berry told the Utility Board at its Thursday meeting that a five-year agreement had been reached with Rails-to-Trails for an easement that will allow utilities on a stretch of property that starts in downtown Albany and runs to Sasser along U.S. Highway 82.
