(KMZA)--Discussion was held at last week's Nemaha County Commission meeting about a proposed electric transmission line corridor that's to run through several local northeast Kansas counties.
According to the meeting minutes, Marshall County Republican Committee Chair Beth Salman meet with the Commission about the proposed National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor. It's to run through Marshall, Nemaha, Brown and Doniphan Counties.
Discussion was held concerning how local counties could try to prevent the approval of the transmission line.
The U.S. Department of Energy plans to narrow 10 proposed corridors around the nation to three final paths for new transmission to be built. Companies building in those corridors will be eligible for grants and loans to build the lines.
