In case you missed the open houses at which Ameren talked about the LaSalle Link Project, you can find out more about it online. The plan is to start a new high voltage power line route connecting Utica and Oglesby. If there’s something you think Ameren should know before picking a route, the company wants to hear it. Project Manager Kimberly Gross says you can comment online too at LaSalleLinkProject.com.
Ameren plans to ask the Illinois Commerce Commission for permission to develop the route this fall and have it in service by the summer of 2025.
The Corbin electrical substation in Oglesby will be connected to a substation in Utica via a new transmission line route.
