• Louisa County dedicates $250K to fight Valley Link transmission line project (29news.com) — Louisa County supervisors have committed $250,000 in county funds to legally fight the proposed Valley Link high-voltage transmission line that would cut through local farmland and rural properties. The project, part of a 115-mile route serving growing power demand, has raised concerns about eminent domain, property values, health risks, and permanent changes to Louisa’s landscape, even as final approval rests with the State Corporation Commission.
