MORGANTOWN – Local residents filled the bleachers at the University High School gym Tuesday evening to learn about, and stand against, the proposed NextEra Energy Transmission MidAtlantic Resiliency Link project.
Speaker Bath Ann Bossio summarized the sentiments of many who attended: “It’s a land grab.”
MARL is a proposed transmission project to build a new 105-mile 500-kilovolt transmission line stretching from Greene County, Pa., to Frederick County, Va. Depending on the route selected, it could pass through Monongalia and Preston counties, along with Hampshire County and Mineral counties, Allegany Garrett county in Maryland and Fayette County in Pennsylvania.
