Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin Oct. 5 and continue through the end of 2027. The project will replace 60-year-old overhead electric lines with underground cables and power equipment. The work is intended to improve electric service reliability, reduce outages caused by trees and wildlife, and improve access for maintenance and emergency repairs.

Residents can stop by the open house anytime between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. to learn more about the project and ask questions.
