A proposed 500-kilovolt transmission line, spanning 107.5 miles across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia, is set to bring significant changes to the region's electrical infrastructure. The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link aims to address reliability challenges posed by evolving power generation sources and growing electricity demand, but its proposed route through Monongalia County in West Virginia has sparked intense debate, with local commissioners opposing the project due to concerns about its potential environmental impact, property damage, and lack of tangible local benefits.
