Please look for an alternate location. There are many options in non-residential areas, away from elementary schools.

Totally agree - why risk the health and safety of so many kids?

Build the sub station somewhere that isn't close to children!

Substations near schools are just too much of a risk to take.

Where is Duke in this conversation? Where are their enlightened alternatives? Buried substations? Conclusive exposure results? Better site locations? Why is Duke silent why the rest of the community is left to come up with solutions to the ludicrous mess Duke has created?

It is unthinkable to build a power substation anywhere near a school!

Really?! A substation right next to a grade school? Are you looking for a lawsuit? This is crazy. Everyone already views Duke Energy as being one of the most heartless companies in NC. Do you not care about your reputation at all? Please plan to locate your substation elsewhere. Thank you, a Duke Energy Customer, Registered Voter, Wife, Social Worker, and Mother

Surely Duke has another property with less impact on the community where they can build the substation. In addition to the concerns of it being so close to the school, the substation will have a negative impact on Asheville's most historic neighborhood. Montford is a high tourism area, and we have to consider that.In addition to its location near a school, the substation will have a negative impact on Asheville's most historic neighborhood.

Children's safety first. Next to an elementary school is NO place for a substation.
