On January 16, 2025, the Coconino National Forest issued its final Environmental Assessment for APS’s proposed 13.4 mile high-voltage transmission line between McGuireville and Village of Oak Creek Substations.
Publication of the final EA in the local Flagstaff newspaper triggers a 45-day objection period for interested parties such as Big Park Council to file an objection before construction begins. The Council anticipates filing an Objection Letter of the proposed overhead route with the regional Forest Service office in Albuquerque before the March 3, 2025 deadline.

Who We Are And What We Do
Since incorporation in 1997, the Council has provided the Big Park Region, including the Village of Oak Creek, with a structured, representational organization to serve the community’s interests.
We represent more than 6,100 citizens
Today the Council includes 23 Residential, Business and Educational organizations, who in turn, represent more than 6,100 citizens. The Council’s focus is not limited to our members. Unlike individual HOA’s and enterprises – our mission embraces the best interests of the entire community.
The Big Park Council acts as the voice of the Village to government and private organizations affecting Village life. The Council provides unique value to the region in the form of communication, education, and collaboration.
