This is really rolling two projects into one,” said Coan. “We think this will make a good alternative use of where we already have existing structures... The footprints of the single shaft poles will be smaller than the lattice towers.”
The line runs parallel with Route 40, mostly on open farmland through Upper Pittsgrove, Woodstown, Pilesgrove, Mannington and Pennsville.
“One thing we’re really trying to be careful of as we move forward is how these lines will impact farmers that operate around these lines,” said Coan. “We want to minimize the impact to farmers, and we’d be scheduling our construction around their growing seasons.”
