Power line plan defended for 22 miles to new Potomac Edison substation
Public hearings addressed a 22 mile 230 kilovolt line through New Market to a new Potomac Edison substation. PE officials argued the project is essential for growing southern Frederick County power demand, while residents pressed feasible route changes to avoid land impact and preserve trees and soil. The C&O Canal Association sponsored tours of the Monocacy River mouth, with historical context and fundraising aims.
