The project involves building approximately one-half mile of new 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission line and adding about 4 miles of new wires to existing steel lattice towers. Additional or supplemental easements may be required in some areas along the existing line route to ensure clearances meet current safety standards. The upgraded transmission facilities will support an interconnection with an independent power provider. Adding an additional circuit strengthens the power grid in northern Ohio. The transmission line starts in Sharon Township in Richland County and continues west to Vernon Township in Crawford County.
