Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project met with stiff opposition

The Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project is being met with stiff opposition. An informational meeting was held Tuesday on a proposal to build a 500,000-volt transmission line through three counties, but nearly all of those attending did not like anything they heard. Anger, worry and frustration dominated emotions. Residents said they don’t like any of the proposed routes, and they are upset about a lack of notice, but most importantly, they are worried about the impact the project will have on their lives and livelihood.
