Residents asked to weigh on on AEP's transmission project in four counties

COLUMBUS − Residents, landowners and community leaders have an opportunity to help shape a major electric infrastructure project aimed at strengthening reliability and supporting future economic growth in central and eastern Ohio. American Electric Power is gathering public feedback through Oct. 28 on a proposed transmission line project spanning Fairfield, Licking, Muskingum and Coshocton counties. This will help determine the best route based on public feedback and feasibility. "The project was identified through PJM Interconnection's regional planning process and is designed to strengthen the transmission grid, increase transmission capacity and support future economic development and energy investments in Ohio," said Stephanie Eisenberg of AEP. "Without additional infrastructure, system stress could increase during high demand and raise the risk of service interruptions." Project basics The project includes upgrading approximately 50 miles of existing transmission infrastructure originally built in the 1970s with modern steel structures and constructing up to 14 miles of new transmission line to connect with the proposed West Millersport substation on Lancaster-Newark Road. More information on the substation and a proposed new substation in Conesville will be provided at a later date, as they are in early stages of development. Eisenberg said an estimated cost won't be available until

High Points of the Valley

* The Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce celebrated with yet another successful annual dinner last week -- this time with the theme being "Survivor." As attendees made connections, learned from panelists ... perhaps got ejected from their islands ... and more, it was clear the chamber board and Executive Director Karen Waller understood how to make the event just another way in which the chamber fulfills its mission. "It's designed to share ideas, to get together socially, give us a chance to make some awards and review the year," Waller said. But, "We try to make it fun. We try to make a combination of fun and some business content." The event WAS fun -- even if the News and Sentinel's table maintains it was cheated in the puzzle race -- as well as educational and a wonderful opportunity to trade ideas. Congratulations to everyone involved on putting together yet another fantastic event.
