- Dominion is planning to rebuild the 500kV transmission line that runs thru western Albemarle (the one that crosses Rte 64/250 near the Crozet exit)
- Rebuild I believe will look like the new towers put up over near Waynesboro (higher and what I think appress to be a much more reflective galvanized surface)
- I think folks are concerned about the visual impact of the design selected.
- Dominion has applied to the State Corporation Commission for approval for the rebuild – comments or request for public hearing are due to the SCC today from what I can tell from the notice below
- Ann and others are asking folks to write to the SCC requesting a public hearing – I think specifically to raise the issue of the appearance of the rebuild
- Here’s a link to the application http://www.scc.
