Dominion’s Power Line Plan Opposed (Rappahannock Times)
If Dominion Virginia Power officials think they have eased opposition to electric transmission corridors in the region by diverting a planned line from northern Fauquier County to a new route that dips into Rappahannock County, they have another thing coming. More than 50 people crammed into the Rappahannock County Library on Monday to organize opposition to Dominion’s proposal to cut an additional 500,000-volt electric transmission corridor next to an existing string of power lines in the eastern part of the county.
Concerned citizens, environmental activists and county officials turned out to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s monthly meeting in search of answers about the power company’s proposal and strategies that could prevent it from being built.
