City council adds another hindrance to Duke’s plan

The Carmel city council has taken another step to try to prevent Duke’s plan to add a substation and high-voltage transmission line to our neighborhood.

The ordinance passed Nov. 20 states that the council believes Duke Energy’s proposed power line path is not “in the public interest” and as a result Duke will need to receive approval from Carmel’s Board of Public Works before proceeding.
