CITIZENS URGED TO ATTEND POST MORTEM ON PATH PROJECT TODAY - Dead For Now?

(06/16/2011)
The PATH power line project that would have cost West Virginians a lot of money, a project that was founded on several weak assumptions, is probably dead.

Bill Howley, an opposition leader, said "If you want to learn how to keep PATH from ever coming back, or if you just want to know what is going on, come to a meeting scheduled Thursday at Chloe."

The meeting with Bill Howley and Ali Haverty starts at 7 p.m. at the Upper West Fork Park.

Local and regional residents are urged to attend.

The project would have caused significant environment impact to West Virginians with coal-fired generation pollution to deliver power to the eastern seaboard.

The company declined to be upfront about funding the project and how it was affecting West Virginians, and about 70 Calhoun landowners would have been affected by the construction of Goliath towers and lines in southern Calhoun.
