Luzerne County Council is considering Resolution R-2026-___ to grant PPL Electric Utilities a right-of-way easement over three county-owned parcels along Blue Ridge Trail in Dorrance Township. The easements allow PPL to construct, reconstruct, operate, and maintain overhead electric and communication facilities, including cutting and trimming trees within 40 feet of the line and removing so-called danger trees beyond the right-of-way. Plans dated February 3, 2026 show a broader PPL transmission rebuild and distribution rebuild project in the Luzerne County area.The agreement is prepared by PPL and will become effective after Council approval and PUC filing, with the County Manager authorized to execute all documents. While this specific easement is already structured as a direct utility–county deal, the underlying transmission and distribution rebuild work will generate downstream needs for vegetation management, civil construction, access road work, and restoration. Vendors that support line construction, environmental clearance, and site restoration may find subcontracting opportunities through PPL or its land services firm, and may also help the County manage vegetation and land impacts on adjacent properties.

Easement covers Parcel IDs 12-M7S1-001-014-000, 12-M7S1-006-003-000, and 12-M7S1-006-009-000; PPL has broad tree-clearing and danger tree removal rights and must restore property after work.
