BUILDING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

ABOUT THE ROUTE

Our proposed route reflects extensive community feedback. We hosted eight open houses along the proposed route where nearly 1,200 attendees interacted with our team. We analyzed more than 1,500 comments from community members at open houses, comment cards, online surveys, phone and email inquiries.

Our goal is to work with landowners early in the process to address concerns and negotiate voluntary agreements wherever possible.

We engaged in one-on-one meetings with local commissioners and elected officials and held more than 350 meetings with local organizations, businesses and associations in addition to eight public open houses. We look forward to continuing these important conversations with you.
