"Met-Ed will extend a line to carry 13,200 volts across the Schuylkill River from its Muhlenberg substation to provide a minimum of 3 MW to the park."

This line is from the end of this Reading Eagle story from August 5 -- I don’t know how I didn’t notice it until now! It could mean that Met-Ed has abandoned the routes we are objecting to and is now planning to follow the common-sense short route across the river to the Muhlenberg substation. But I for one haven’t received any follow-up notification from Met-Ed that their plans have changed, nor have I heard from anyone else that they have; and furthermore, Met-Ed’s webpage about this project doesn’t appear to have had any updates since the company made its short-notice presentation to the community on July 17th. This will be question number one at the BCIDA meeting tomorrow -- we deserve to be kept better-informed, as currently the very threat of these lines running on or near our properties is a large financial liability that we would be obligated to disclose in the event of a real estate transaction.
