Ask questions, become informed about JCP&L's Monster Power Lines Coming to Bayshore, June 28, 7 pm

Assemblywoman Amy Handlin will host a public meeting and has invited JCP&L to answer community questions on the proposed Monmouth Reliability Project.

RAGE (Residents Against Giant Electric), a Monmouth County non-profit citizen-driven organization is opposed to the proposed JCP&L Monmouth Reliability Project. More than 27 years ago, RAGE fought and defeated a similar proposal to run high-voltage power lines along the NJ Transit tracks through Aberdeen/Matawan, Hazlet, Holmdel, Middletown and Red Bank.
