Greensboro City Council has adopted a new ordinance setting requirements for how utilities can use streets and rights-of-way inside the city limits.
Ordinance 2025-06, approved unanimously by the council on Oct. 14, 2025, applies to both public and private utilities operating in areas controlled by the city. According to a summary published this week, the ordinance “establish[es] requirements for the use of public and private utilities within the rights-of-way.” The city did not immediately release the full text, but a complete copy is available for public review during regular business hours in the city clerk’s office at City Hall, 1101 Main Street.
The vote to adopt the ordinance was introduced by Councilmember Curtis and seconded by Councilmember Kyser. The measure passed 6–0, with no members absent or abstaining. Mayor J.B. Washington declared the ordinance adopted following the roll call vote.
City Clerk Lorrie Cock certified that the measure had been read and adopted as required under Section 11-45-8 of the Alabama Code, which governs the passage of municipal ordinances.
The city’s published notice describes the measure as setting rules for utilities that occupy or use the city’s rights-of-way. Those rules typically cover things like access to city streets, permitting, and standards for work within or alongside roads, although the detailed language of Greensboro’s ordinance was not included in the summary provided.
The ordinance was officially adopted Oct. 14, 2025, and is now on file at City Hall.
