There are undisputed effects on residential property values when living in close proximity to electricity distribution. Either near high voltage overhead powerlines or distribution substations. Depending on how close, property values can decrease by as much as fifty percent.
Although the scientific debate from the health risks involved in living near electric distribution substations is still ongoing, studies have proved increased risks for many diseases and illnesses, including cancer.
I do understand that continued growth requires a demand for such expansion. However, the risks far outweigh the benefits. With the thousands of acres available in this area that do not border a residential community, we see that there exists other options. We strongly oppose any such distribution substation in such close proximity to where we live, and where our children play.
