County Commissioner's Meeting Regarding Proposed Power Line

There will be a County Commissioner's meeting tomorrow evening, Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the Tooele County building downstairs on the south side. This meeting will be regarding the proposed power line that Rocky Mountain Power wants to put in our community. The proposed route would take the line along SR-36 within a quarter mile or so of many of our homes and Settlement Canyon Elementary School. I was contacted today by a local community action group who tell me that all interested members of the community are welcome to attend, and asked that I let our PTA members know about the scheduled meeting.

Thank you,
Mandi Murphy, President
Settlement Canyon Elementary PTA
