Landowners sue over proposed Driftless-area power line

Landowners in western Wisconsin have filed a lawsuit against Dairyland Power Cooperative and GridLiance to halt the proposed MariBell Transmission Project. The lawsuit, filed in Vernon County, alleges the high-voltage power line would be a private nuisance and cause significant harm to properties in the Driftless region. Opponents also link the project's necessity to the proliferation of data centers in the region.
