The September 1 hearing notice included Firefly’s Cardwell Lane access request
Archive context added September 8, 2026: this article explains a notice for the September 1 hearing. That date has passed. The original notice does not establish what the commission decided; consult later minutes or the county case record for the outcome.
The first of three related special-use cases concerns 19.98 acres. The request is for temporary access, not a blanket approval of every construction activity.

The permit request
Case S-26-026 asks for temporary construction access on agricultural land along Cardwell Lane in the Dan River district. Firefly Energy LLC is the designated agent for the owners.
The one-page notice does not state the access duration, vehicle volume, surface treatment or restoration plan. Those details belong in the application record and any proposed conditions.
Conditions worth checking
Temporary access can still affect traffic, drainage, dust and the condition of a rural road. Residents can ask for measurable start and end dates and a restoration standard.
- Reference S-26-026.
- Ask how emergency and farm access will be maintained.
- Request the written closure and restoration conditions.
