(KMZA)-- The Nemaha County Commission will hold a special meeting Friday with representatives of Westar Energy about their plans for the installation of a new substation and power line in Capioma Township.

Westar is proposing to install a new substation along W Road, north of 120th Road by March 2017.

A public hearing was held at Monday’s County Commission meeting to consider the establishment of a road right-of-way along W Road from 120th to 144th Road.  A number of area landowners attended the hearing to voice their concerns about the project.

Following the hearing, the Commission voted to table action on a resolution establishing the road right-of-way at 25 feet from the center of the road in order to get further information from Westar regarding their plans. 

Westar representatives are to meet with the Commission Friday morning at 9:00 to answer questions the Commission and area landowners have concerning the proposed substation and power line.
