The Ohio Power Siting Board will vote on a revised power line proposal by FirstEnergy's American Transmission Systems, initially rejected in 2022 due to community opposition. The new 6.25-mile project aims to connect Riverbend and Lincoln Park substations, enhancing local electric grid reliability and serving 15,000 customers. Construction, pending approval, is set for November 2027, with an estimated cost of $27 million and expected annual tax revenues of $4.1 million for local communities.
