“I have also prepared a letter in opposition of the proposed project with suggestions to mitigate impacts,” Rock Hill District Supervisor Crystal Vanuch said in a recent social-media post. She added that Darrell English, Hartwood District Supervisor, will sign the letter and that she plans to invite other Board colleagues to join after the upcoming meeting.
Vanuch noted that the county’s options are limited, urging concerned residents to engage their state delegate and senator as the county learns more about the plans. She also said she copied all of Stafford’s state representation on the letter she will send after the Board’s Dec. 2 meeting.
The Kraken Loop is a 70-mile, 500-kilovolt electric transmission project proposed by Dominion Energy. The planned route runs through Louisa, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Stafford and Fauquier counties. Public meetings have recently begun, and the project is still in early development.
Residents in Stafford have raised multiple concerns — including potential impacts on property values, environmental and health issues, and the proximity of tall utility structures to homes.
