The Virginia Supreme Court today took up an appeal of the State Corporation Commission’s approval of a high voltage transmission line in eastern Loudoun County.

The Aspen to Golden Transmission Line project is planned by Dominion Energy and includes 230 kilovolt and 500 kV double circuit lines positioned on monopole towers on a route from a substation south of Leesburg along Rt. 7 and then south to the intersection of Rt. 28 and the W&OD Trail.

The item was added for discussion by Sumera Rashid (Little River). Rashid’s district was heavily affected by the changes and the debate over the options generated heavy community involvement and disappointment following the final decisions.

“I guess all the time, it feels like it’s very unfair,” Rashid said at the meeting. “My district … gets rezoned the most, OK, especially in recent years.”
