Block The Valley LInk Transmission Project
COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP
Valley Link Transmission, a joint venture led by Dominion Energy, is pushing forward with plans for a massive 115-mile, 765 kV high-voltage power line cutting through the heart of Central Virginia—from Campbell County to Culpeper County. This infrastructure is primarily designed to feed the skyrocketing energy demands of data centers in Northern Virginia, prioritizing corporate profits over local livelihoods.  
Right now, they’re aggressively pursuing eminent domain to seize control of private land, erecting towering 160-foot structures along a 200-foot-wide right-of-way that would bulldoze forests, farms, and everything in its path. These ultra-high-voltage lines—typically reserved for remote, uninhabited deserts in the Southwest—carry the capacity equivalent to six standard 345 kV lines, far exceeding what’s common in populated areas like ours.  
But have the experts truly investigated the long-term impacts of the electromagnetic fields, constant hum, and potential health risks from living in the shadow of these behemoths? In many proposed routes, towers loom directly adjacent to homes, schools, and communities—echoing past assurances from “authorities” that downplayed dangers until it was too late. Once built, these lines will hum and radiate 24/7, forever altering our landscapes, property values, and peace of mind.
Join us at Block Valley Link to fight back—because our homes, health, and heritage deserve better.
Proposed Route Map
Explore the proposed path of the Valley Link Transmission project. This interactive map highlights the industrial route that threatens our community's health, safety, and natural landscape. See exactly where the lines are planned to be installed and how close they come to your home. The shaded or highlighted areas around the routes represent the proposed 200-foot-wide right-of-way (ROW) required for the line. Within this corridor, vegetation, trees, fences, and other features would be bulldozed to install and maintain the massive steel lattice towers (typically 135–160 feet tall) and conductors.
This is an attempted land grab by Valley Link of some 3,600 acres of OUR LAND.
Health & Safety Concerns
The Valley Link Transmission project brings significant long-term implications for our community's well-being and the local environment. Understanding these risks is crucial for our advocacy.
Electromagnetic Fields
Concerns regarding chronic exposure to high-voltage electromagnetic radiation and its potential links to long-term health issues for residents living in proximity to the proposed line.
Acoustic Pollution
Continuous corona discharge generates persistent audible noise, particularly in humid conditions, disrupting the tranquility of local neighborhoods and wildlife habitats.
Ecological Impact
Habitat fragmentation and soil degradation caused by construction footprints, alongside permanent scars on our protected natural valleys and landscapes.

COMMUNITY IMPACT DOC
Under NO circumstances should you allow Valley Link personnel, contractors, or agents onto your property for any reason but especially to perform a detailed survey. Do you really want them gathering evidence as to why the line must be on YOUR property ? Valley Link is NOT a public utility company and has no right to be on your property for any reason. Every landowner affected by this line should send one of these as soon as possible via certified US mail.
