Private land route alternatives for a power line project needed to address continued economic development in the Chandler area known as the Price Road Corridor (PRC), have been further reduced by Salt River Project (SRP) officials.
After collecting public comments and considering electrical requirements for substation siting, the PRC transmission project team was able to narrow the proposed areas for substation sites within the corridor in south Chandler. By reducing the potential locations for substation sites, the following north-south transmission line route segments were also removed from consideration: Kyrene to RS-27 to RS-28 component and Schrader to RS-28 component.
Rose Law Group partner Court Rich, an attorney who regularly represents interests in transmission line siting cases said, “This is a very difficult siting case. Even the proposed GRIC route alternative has significant negative impacts on people and private land holdings and prime developable land on the GRIC side of the boundary.”
