RUSK COUNTY — One East Texas landowner claims an energy company misled him about a project near his house. But according to KETK, the company disagrees. In 2010 Edwin Davidson was notified that Luminant was purchasing nearby land along Rusk County Road 2144 to run a railway for a future coal loading station that would be placed down the road. But a few weeks ago Davidson says he learned that the station was being built right across the street from him. Davidson says he feels he has been kept in the dark by the company about its plans. Davidson says, “They didn’t tell us before we were going to have a loading station in our front yard, which is a lot different than having a train that goes beside your house that comes by once an hour at the most.” <\/p>\n
A Luminant spokesperson confirmed that the company did speak to Davidson in 2010 when the company offered to purchase his property. However, says the spokesperson, the negotiations with Davidson did not work out, so Luminant chose to purchase another property nearby. The spokesperson tells KETK the company followed the appropriate procedure, saying, “There were signs posted all around the property. There were signs posted on FM 2144, which is just north of the location right along where he lives, I believe. There were nine signs in Spanish and nine signs in English — and they were up from October 22, 2012, to November 2012.” He went on to say that maps of the plant’s location were available to the public at the Rusk County clerk’s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
