Board approves Midland Power permits to move overhead lines underground on 200th Street

Speaker 2, a board member, introduced two permit applications from Midland Power to convert overhead electrical lines to underground conduits on 200th Street. He described two distinct runs: one to run north–south beneath the gravel road and a second to run along the back of the right-of-way for approximately 200 feet before crossing the road to the substation. "There is 1 stretch that they'll be in the back of the right of way on 200th Street for for about 200 feet... then come under the highway to the substation," Speaker 2 said.
