While we on Lee’s Mill Road have our power supplied through Coweta-Fayette EMC, we are being subjected to the intrusion of Georgia Power. They are planning to force 230 kilovolt power lines down our road. Thanks so much! It is all an effort, they now say, to provide for future growth. We have all the power we need now.
In truth, were it not for the data center there would be no need for such. The data center, plus the other two nearby data centers are private companies, not public. So eminent domain is not realistic for forcing this on us.
My home on Lee’s Mill was built between 1894 and 1896. My mom was born in this house. It’s the first house I lived in as my dad was in the Army when I was born. This house is 68 feet from Lee’s Mill Road.
Obviously when it was constructed there were no power lines because there was no electricity. Now Georgia Power has a plan to get an easement to construct these huge power lines in front of my home.
They have contacted the property owners across the street and are trying to buy out their fears and pay for their loss of value.
Has Georgia Power contacted me about this and how it diminishes my property value, my and my family’s health, my desire to live under this power line? That’s a big NO!
My only option is to get attorneys involved. I’ve already lost a bit of property so the county could build the water tower on the corner. Looks like I’m in line, a 230kv line, to get screwed again.
