– Big Park Council Files Objection Letter –
On Wednesday, February 26, the Big Park Council submitted an Objection Letter regarding the CNF’s January 16, 2025, Draft Decision Notice to allow APS to build an overhead transmission line in proximity to the Village of Oak Creek.
The Council’s opposition to the overhead transmission line heavily focuses on four issues:
• The increased risk of wildfires
• The negative impact on the scenic and recreational value of the proposed route
• The negative impact on property values
• The lack response from the Forest Service to the Council’s Freedom of Information request of September, 2023
