Rose Fagler, community relations manager with Progress Energy Florida, told the Chiefland City Commission about the utility company's efforts to add two nuclear reactors in southern Levy County.
The land has been bought for the plant, she said during the Oct. 22 meeting. The company is looking for a one-mile wide corridor for transmission lines going south. The potentially affected counties will be Levy, Citrus, Lake, Marion, Sumter, Pasco, Hernando, Hillsborough, Polk and Pinellas, she said.
Sixty-four citizens from Levy, Citrus and Hernando counties will participate in the transmission corridor selection process through those three counties, she said. This will be a utility search conference in Crystal River for participants to learn about where the starting and finishing points are for the lines. The electric provider wants to receive input from the communities at the start of the process, Fagler said.
