Garrett County landowners urged to proceed with caution
OAKLAND — With recent legislative developments and increasing activity from utility and energy companies, local landowners are advised to proceed carefully when approached to sign land easement agreements.
Specifically related to utility transmission line easements, an agreement typically grants companies permanent access and use of private land for infrastructure like towers, substations, and access roads. These agreements often come with long-term or perpetual rights and may significantly impact land use, farming operations, property value, and future development.
