Buckhannon Informational Meeting on Power Line Set for May 8th

Concerned citizens of Upshur County, along with WV Sierra Club and WV Highlands Conservancy, are sponsoring an informational public meeting about the proposed new large PATH power line.

PATH is the proposed Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline (PATH) 765 Kilovolt power line proposed to run 244 miles from American Electric Power's (AEP) John Amos coal fueled power plant near St. Albans, WV, across central and north-eastern West Virginia, including Upshur County, to northeast of Martinsburg, WV, then from there an additional 46 miles to near Frederick, Md.

The "PATH" informational public meeting will be held on May 8, 2009 at Kresge Hall in the basement of the Martin Religious Center at WV Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. Enter on either side of the chapel from the rear of the chapel and go downstairs. Desserts, coffee, and conversation will begin at 6:30 PM and the program will start at 7:00 PM. Please join us.

At this meeting citizens can learn about PATH, its many costs, proposed routes, and how citizens can take effective action to protect their interests. Speakers, displays and maps will inform citizens and enable them to inform others.
