Save The Trail
Over a year ago we celebrated together when Dominion Virginia Power announced that they would NOT use the W&OD Trail as their preferred route for the new 11 story high, 240 kV electrical lines. Unfortunately, given the way that the legal rules are written, the State Corporation Commission recently stated that they must, by law, consider the W&OD trail as a route since Dominion Virginia Power owns the easement on the W&OD Trail.
Many of you have responded to our recent letter and we thank you for your support. Our attorney has advised us that it is critical that citizens attend and speak at the 3 upcoming hearings in February and March 2006 and to also voice their support for the Trail by sending their comments on Dominion Power’s Application via the SCC website available until February 6, 2006.
Here is the information to attend the hearings and to send your comments directly to the SCC:
The 2 public hearings in Loudoun County are on February 8, 2006, beginning at 1:30p.m. and reconvening at 7:00 p.m. and on February 9, 2006, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room, Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison Street, S.E., Leesburg, Virginia. The 1 public hearing in Richmond will be on March 27, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., in the State Corporation Commission’s Courtroom, Second Floor, Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia.
