DoubleTree by Hilton Sterling - Dulles Airport (21611 Atlantic Blvd, Sterling)

From Saturday’s update:

This week: Golden and Aspen Substation Meetings

As many of you know, we have also been advocating regarding how these substations are built and pushing for power requirements to be weighed as part of a broader, comprehensive plan for the county.

Because of this pushback, Dominion has agreed to hold public information sessions for both the Aspen and Golden substations, which will border the W&OD trail.

If you have seen the massive scale of the Mars or Wishing Star substations, you know exactly why we need a better, less disruptive approach in non-industrial areas that sit right next to residential and recreational areas.

By the way, the Golden Substation is the "Golden" in the "Golden to Mars" project.

Many of you have had questions and expressed a desire to participate further. You should absolutely attend and ask hard questions of Dominion and their representatives about this project and the future of infrastructure in Loudoun County.
