Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project- Commissioners Respond

Westminster, MD, Thursday, July 11, 2024 – The Board of County Commissioners has received several inquiries from concerned residents regarding the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project and the impact it may have on the community. The board was made aware of a proposed large-scale power line project and has been learning about its intricate details concurrently with the public.

The board upholds the principles of protecting property owner rights, local control and land use and permitting authority. The proposed project does not respect any of these concepts. For these reasons, the Carroll County Board of Commissioners opposes the Maryland Piedmont Reliability Project.

The Board of Commissioners will leverage all its influence with our neighboring jurisdictions as well as state and national leaders to halt the project in its current form. “Our priority is to mitigate any adverse impact this plan could have on the county’s citizens, community and land,” says Commissioner Kiler, Board President.

All residents who have questions, comments, or concerns, are strongly urged to submit their remarks on PSEG’s comment page.
