I have enclosed a fact sheet that provides details and <br /> information regarding the need and location of the proposed project. <br /> • This project involves the replacement of an existing single-circuit 69 kV transmission line that was <br /> originally constructed in 1950 to provide electrical service to our cooperative members located north of <br /> Elk River. In recent years, several new transmission lines and distribution substations that tap into this <br /> existing transmission line have been constructed and put into service. These newer distribution <br /> substations represent the primary source of electrical power for Elk River Municipal Utilities and <br /> Connexus Energy customers. <br /> GRE invites you and any representatives of the City staff to attend a public informational meeting at 7:00 <br /> p.m. on Thursday, November 20, 2003 at the Elk River Recreation facility located in Lions Park Center. <br /> GRE will be sending information and formally inviting Elk River residents and property owners located <br /> along this transmission line corridor to the meeting. The meeting will provide GRE the opportunity to <br /> make a detailed presentation and answer questions regarding the project schedule and construction <br /> process. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions or if you wish to have a representative of GRE appear at <br /> your next Council meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> GREAT RIVER ENERGY <br /> (pc _11c,A.A.sen"" <br /> Rick Heuring <br /> Field Representati <br /> Enclosures <br /> Enclosures <br /> RH:jh\r:l.doc <br /> Direct Dial (763) 241-2337 E-mail rheuringrgrenergv com F X (7 )241 6011 <br /> A Touchstone Energy®Cooperative Oa <br />
