Valley Link hosted an open house in Sissonville, West Virginia, to discuss its proposed high-voltage transmission line to Maryland.

Valley Link hosted an open house at Sissonville Middle School in West Virginia on Thursday evening to present its proposed Valley North transmission line project to residents. The outlets report conflicting distances for the project: one states the line would run 250 miles, whilst the other reports 260 miles. The transmission line would connect the John Amos Power Plant in Putnam County, West Virginia, to Frederick, Maryland.

Valley Link said it had refined its plans based on feedback gathered during an initial round of open houses held in summer. The company invited residents to ask questions and voice concerns about the project at Thursday's meeting.

Lauren Siburkis, a spokeswoman with Valley Link, acknowledged that not all feedback could be accommodated in determining the final route. She stated: 'This definitely is an open conversation that we're having with landowners, and we're taking all of their feedback and really incorporating it into our final design.' The next open house meeting in West Virginia is scheduled for 12 November in Buckhannon.
