The Cassia County Move It LLC organization has its public meeting with Idaho Power:
Public Hearing on Gateway Project by J. Michaels June 1st, 2009 http://www.kmvt.com/news/local/46670262.html
The Cassia County Commissioners called a public meeting today – on a proposed power line that would cross Southern Idaho.
The 'Gateway West' transmission line would stretch more than eleven hundred miles across southern Idaho and southern Wyoming. In Cassia County – the new 230 and 500 kilo–volt lines would cover roughly 70 miles – with almost 60 of those miles on privately owned land.
Brent Stoker, spokesmen for Move It L.L.C. says “We have more private ground being affected percentage–wise and mileage–wise than any other place along this Gateway West line. We believe that it should be better sited, for public use on public ground.”
The proposed route could affect almost 700 parcels of privately owned land – and more than 160 land owners in Cassia County alone.
The 'Move It' organization wants Idaho Power to reconsider the initial plan – and relocate the power line further south on public lands.
Best of luck to Move It LLC!
