Ameren Illinois hopes to have a new transmission line in western LaSalle County running in 2025. It’s called LaSalle Link, even though it links Oglesby and Utica. There are already two 138,000 volt lines serving the communities. Ameren says a third would improve service reliability and shorten the wait for service restoration when there are outages.

The public can find out more at two open houses at Illinois Valley Community College’s main campus. One’s from 5pm to 7pm tomorrow night (Wednesday, June 22) and the other’s from 11am to 1pm Thursday.

More information on the project is available at the LaSalle Link Project web site.
