I visited the Bern Township municipal building on July 31 and photographed the entirety of the Land Development Plan (Phase 1) for the Berks Park 183 project (zoomable images are posted here). The key finding is shown in the highlighted excerpt below, which states that power lines are to be installed underground! So why is Met-Ed proposing to run above-ground lines?? As I understand from a story in the Reading Eagle, this plan was approved on May 7; however, I don’t yet know if just Phase 1 was approved, or if there are more documents that they didn’t bring out when I visited. I will be going back shortly to investigate further! We need to find out whether all necessary approvals have already been granted for power line towers to be constructed; and if not, to join together and do everything we can to prevent any remaining approvals from being granted.
