RESIDENTS OF CHARLES CITY:
Are you aware that Dominion has proposed the construction of a
500kV electrical transmission line that could impact our County, and perhaps
your property? Dominion’s preferred choice is to place the power line across
the James River. This route is shorter, less expensive and carries far fewer
environmental and economic impacts. However, Dominion is required to submit an
alternative route, which runs through Charles City County, cuts across the
Chickahominy River and significantly impacts properties in both the 9th
Senatorial District, as well as the 74th House District.
If the Chickahominy Alternative route is approved, Charles City
County residents could face altered views, shift their farming and timber
operations, and contend with negative impacts on family history and cultural
assets. We need your help to make sure that the State Corporation Commission
approves the route that crosses the James River, so that the transmission line
is located in an area that already is developed and industrialized. Help us
preserve the character of Charles City County, our history and culture, our
farms and our tourism-dependent businesses by taking a few seconds to sign this
petition to Mr. Joel Peck, Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, citing
case number PUE-2012-00029. For more information please visit the State
Corporation Commission website below:
