CABELL/PUTNAM COUNTIES (LOOTPRESS) – Appalachian Power has unveiled revised route options for its Bancroft-Milton Transmission Line Rebuild Project, eliminating all routes that would have crossed the Meeks Mountain Trails. The changes come after the utility received over 680 public comments following initial open houses held in late 2024.

“We listened to the community’s feedback, removed the route options crossing Meeks Mountain Trails, and rerouted several other options,” said Aaron Walker, Appalachian Power president and COO. “We value the community’s knowledge of the area and hope to gather more feedback at this round of open houses.”
