Edwards to convene public input session about Cherokee County transmission line

U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) will convene a public input session to hear from constituents and the Tennessee Valley Authority about the proposed route for a new transmission line through Cherokee County.

“The majority of constituents who have contacted my office - and there have been many - agree that the transmission line is necessary, but are extremely unhappy that the TVA refused to allow traditional public input and comment through an in-person session,” said Edwards. “This forum will give those landowners an opportunity to express their concerns in person.”

The forum will be held on Wednesday, August 23 from 5-6:30 p.m. in Commissioners Multi-Purpose Room 342 in the Cherokee County Courthouse.
