## Resource

Valley Link is back at the drawing board with new plans for the Joshua Falls to Yeat Transmission Line — a major new power corridor stretching from Campbell County to Culpeper, through Appomattox and beyond. Originally designed to meet Virginia’s surging energy demands, the project has already seen route tweaks, including a southward shift in Campbell County to cut costs and reduce community disruption. But not everyone’s buying it — critics worry the line will slice through private property, prioritizing corporate profits over local residents. Valley Link is now unveiling updated routes, construction timelines, and environmental reviews — and inviting public feedback before any final decision. With the state’s energy future on the line, the next big move? Submitting recommended routes to Virginia’s State Corporation Commission.
