Commissioners oppose transmission line project

On the heels of an Aug. 25 meeting at the Medina Library, where concerned residents gathered to learn about a proposed high-voltage transmission line across parts of Medina, Vanderpool, Utopia and Tarpley, the Bandera County Commissioners passed a resolution opposing the project at their regular meeting Aug. 28.

The resolution targets the Howard- Solstice 765-kilovolt transmission line, a project managed jointly by CPS Energy and AEP Texas.

According to CPS Energy, the line would stretch 370 miles through 14 Texas counties, including Bandera.
