As a resident of the Hallsley community in Chesterfield County, I am deeply concerned about the proposal by Dominion Energy to construct above-ground high-voltage transmission lines close to our homes. This alarming proposal poses significant risks and long-term impacts that we simply cannot ignore. Our community stands united in our need for safe and sustainable solutions.

Firstly, the proximity of these high-voltage lines to the nearest Hallsley homes and properties raises red flags. How close will they truly come to our backyards and living spaces? We deserve a clear and transparent assessment of these risks.

Secondly, numerous studies have raised concerns about the potential health effects of living near high-voltage transmission lines. As community members, we demand research-based answers regarding the potential health impacts. The wellbeing of our children and future generations is at stake, and we cannot compromise on safety.

Additionally, there is clear evidence from other neighborhoods in Chesterfield that property values have suffered where such lines have been installed. Our homes are not just buildings; they are investments in our families' futures. We deserve transparency and a thorough projection of how these lines might impact our property values.

Finally, we believe in the viability of better alternatives. For instance, underground lines, which present fewer risks and offer more durability in the long run. It's a safer option that needs to be seriously considered.

We urge Dominion Energy and the local governing authorities to reconsider their plans and prioritize the welfare of the Hallsley community. Sign this petition, so we can together ensure that our voices are heard and a safer, more responsible approach is adopted.
