On April 8, the State Corporation The 5-mile line will be built on a company-owned right of way between Aquia Harbour and a new substation near Garrisonville. This is fantastic news. I want to thank everyone who participated in the professional engagement of the issue, which helped bring a win-win solution that will bring power to our community "the right way." I thank the SCC officials for their willingness to fully research the issue, for listening to the debate, and for being open-minded. I am thankful for Dominion's excellent service and their willingness I'm very proud of how Stafford residents rallied to support the underground option for bringing power into our area versus the proposed 13-story, high-voltage aboveground transmission lines. I am thankful for the support of the Stafford Board of Supervisors, the School Board, sports associations, schools, churches, and neighborhood associations. I am extremely thankful for my fellow Towering Concerns team members and volunteers, who worked long and hard to help protect our community. I am eternally grateful for the help from our leaders--especially Bill Howell, Mark Cole, Mark Dudenhefer, and Bob Gibbons. I am very proud of the Stafford community and how much hard work everyone put into engaging Dominion to provide this outcome.

in Stafford County? AS posted by 4merstaf4dian...................I know the Schools have underutilized facilities, a middle school that should not have opened, and an elementary school on rt 610 that should be closed and sold for commercial, but where are the trailers?
The point is that everyone else has to pay for you little self centered crusades. If it's not north Stafford crying about powerlines, it's south Stafford crying about a new short cut they can't use yet. Do use all a favor and get over yourselves.
No thank you. Because Doninion turned chicken and didn't want to protect what they already owned you get all of us to pay your way. I have no problem with the line just who and how it's paid for. Sure hope the FAA puts a flight path right over your neighborhood.
I guess these folks didn't read the FLS article a few days ago. It will cost Dominion customers 10 cents per month. .
The towering concerns team, many of which did not have property bordering the ROW, did a wonderful job for Stafford! If this overhead line had gone in as planned, Stafford would have lost millions in property values. The increase in taxes to cover this loss would have far outweighed the dime increase in our rates. Let's stop thinking of Stafford as a 2nd rate community and demand the best. Buried power lines are the wave of the future, and we deserve no less than any other community.
