We need a much more detailed map. We live in the Cherokee Subdivision across Hwy 22 from Save A Lot. We are very CONCERNED about how close these lines may come to our home on Chaseland Cove.

i didnt move to lexington for this crap , you will destroy my land and its value. i have been hard at work on my property for the past 6 yrs and im in final stages of geting cattle, put your power lines along 22 ,,,and as i see its the shortest route, so who screems the loudest will get results i will be seeking legal action if this continues, again why the long route, laugh the legal action off but i will not let you destroy my investment with your power lines, ill drag it threw the courts if i have to , i dont care whos in your corner,
