TVA To Hold Open House on Proposed Greenwood Area Power Line
August 23, 2005
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – TVA will hold an open house on Thursday, Aug. 25, to hear public comments on a proposed new power line to serve the Greenwood area.
The transmission line would extend six to eight miles from an existing TVA transmission line to the Bowling Green Municipal Utilities’ proposed substation site off Cave Mill Road. The line is needed to meet growth in the area, which averages 2-4 percent a year.
TVA will present alternative routes for the line at the open house to be held from 3-7 p.m. CDT at TVA’s Bowling Green Customer Service Center, 6045 Russellville Road.
Detailed maps showing alternative routes for the proposed 161-kilovolt power line will be available, and TVA staff will be on hand to answer questions, discuss potential concerns and receive comments on the proposals. A map is available by clicking here.
For additional information or to submit comments, contact Steve Pitt, TVA, 1101 Market St. (MR 4G), Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801, call toll free 800-355-6372, e-mail newtransline@tva.com or visit TVA’s website. The deadline for comments is Sept. 26, 2005.
TVA is the nation’s largest public power provider and is completely self-financed. TVA provides power to large industries and 158 power distributors that serve approximately 8.6 million consumers in seven southeastern states.
