It is not known precisely how many people attended the three public meetings last month regarding a proposed transmission line that could slice through portions of 14 Texas counties including Llano, Mason and San Saba. An official said this week that the attendees numbered in the hundreds.
“Oncor and LCRA TSC (Lower Colorado River Authority Transmission Services Corporation) are actively reviewing attendance data and feedback collected during the June public meetings for the Bell County East–Big Hill 765 kV Transmission Line Project,” said Andrew Clark with Oncor’s media relations department, who answered questions for the News in an email this week. “Oncor appreciates the hundreds of people who took the time to attend these events and provide input that is vital to helping us refine the routing options we will submit to the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), which will ultimately select the route that is constructed.”
Llano, Mason and San Saba are three of 14 counties that could be affected by the project. Others include Schleicher, Tom Green, Menard, Concho, McCulloch, Burnet, Lampasas, Coryell, Bell, Milam and Williamson.
