Community Advocates Mobilize Against Electrical Line Expansion in Jefferson County
In an effort to rally support against proposed major electrical transmission lines in Jefferson County, advocates held an information meeting on October 23, as reported by The Spirit of Jefferson. The meeting was prompted by the increasing electrical demand in the region, which PJM Interconnection, the operator serving 65 million people across several states and D.C., aims to address through expanding transmission line capacity. This includes potentially adding more power lines in Jefferson County, raising concerns among local residents about the implications of such developments.
