Episode Details

A massive 100-mile power line project, Valley Link, is sparking heated debate across Virginia as it seeks to connect Campbell County to Spotsylvania County—promising economic and infrastructure boosts but facing fierce local opposition. Community meetings, like the one in Lynchburg, are drawing property owners rallying under groups like Block Valley Link, who argue the route threatens their land and heritage. Valley Link’s George Porter insists feedback is vital to refine the path and reduce harm. Local leaders, including Campbell County Supervisor John Hardie, are balancing infrastructure needs with environmental and community concerns. Three potential routes are under review; after public input, Valley Link will submit a preferred option to Virginia’s State Corporation Commission for final approval—with construction targeted for completion by 2029.
