RESPECTAgZone Aims to Protect Community from Intrusive Proposed Power Lines Route

Residents of Indiana Township near Hartwood Acres Park are facing a proposal by Duquesne Light to route high‑voltage power lines through their community. The project would cut a wide swath across neighborhoods and farmland, lowering property values and threatening the safety and character of the area.

Local citizens have formed the group RESPECTAgZone to oppose the plan and advocate for a less intrusive alternative. They have organized petitions, attended public meetings and raised awareness about the potential environmental and social impacts of the proposed route. This blog encourages readers to support the community’s efforts to protect their homes and farmland and urges the utility to pursue options that respect people and the landscape.
