Local dog boarding service fears transmission line impact

A Louisa dog boarding service owner, Sarah Strentz, is opposing the proposed 115-mile Valley Link Electric Transmission Line Project, citing concerns about the potential negative impact of high-voltage lines on animal behavior and navigation. The project, a joint venture between Dominion Energy, FirstEnergy Transmission, and Transource, is designed to meet Virginia's growing energy needs and could cut through 20 miles of Louisa County. Strentz plans to file her opposition with the State Corporation Commission, which will have the final vote on the project.
