It would run from Jackson's Ferry in Wythe County, through Carroll, Floyd and Franklin Counties, and would end at Axton in Henry County.
The S-C-C approved the proposal in 1979. [from S-120, TC 08:26 show meeting and Blatter speaking]

The new line would begin in Wyoming, West Virginia. AEP would like it to end at the Cloverdale substation near Roanoke.
But the S-C-C likes APCO alternative proposal ...one that's cheaper and less harmful to the environment. It would end at the Jacksons Ferry Substation.
There is plenty of opposition to either route.

Ken Frederick is a former police officer who became a private investigator four years ago.
After purchasing equipment from Spook Tech, he decided to become one of its dealers.. now Frederick owns one of just six Spook Tech spy shops that have opened up across the country. [Standup ] ((But Lynchburg and central Virginia aren't exactly hotbeds for international spy activity, so who needs things like a telephone bug detector or a tiny camera that can fit inside a beeper? Ken Frederick says a lot of his sales are to business executives looking to protect their corporate secrets.. the rest are average citizens just looking to protect themselves from crime.))

((FREDERICK: MOST OF THE TIME WHEN PEOPLE COME IN TO LOOK AT OR PURCHASE PRODUCTS HERE, THEIR CONCERN IS VERY REAL. THEY HAVE A CONCERN, THEY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING SO THEY'LL COME ALONG AND TRY TO SEE HOW THEY CAN SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS USING OUR EQUIPMENT.))

Life's tragedies have brought about some of Judy Bowman's most significant accomplishments.
Judy has always been an athlete, playing volleyball and basketball. At the age of 29 she graduated from college and was drafted by the San Francisco Pioneers of the first women's professional basketball league.
Judy decided to become a teacher instead. Life threw her a curve in 1985 when she severely injured her back while coaching volleyball.
