Transmission line project underway
A number of trees have been cleared recently along the west side of Hwy 10 south of Motley as part of the Motley Area 115-kV electricity transmission project. Pictured above, crew members with Reliable Tree Service of Cambridge work to chip the wood. Below is a home located a few miles south of Motley, one of 67 property owners that are affected by the 16.5-mile project which covers portions of Cass and Morrison counties. The three utilities involved in this project include Great River Energy, Maple Grove; Crow Wing Power, Baxter; Minnesota Power, Duluth. A detailed story will be included in next week’s Staples World.
