The company seeking to build a controversial power line through rural Baltimore, Carroll and Frederick counties can enter the properties of resistant landowners to survey its route, a Maryland judge ruled Friday.

The so-called Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project has sparked an uproar among landowners along its route as well as vows by at least one county sheriff to not support the company’s efforts to survey properties.
