Planning Commission - Jun 10, 2026
Three 345-kV lines running ~103 miles from Mason Valley to Dayton will permanently change views, wildlife corridors, and possibly property values. Residents criticized thin outreach, incomplete maps, and flood concerns in Stagecoach, but the commission still recommended approval 3-2. The Board of County Commissioners votes next.
