From the meeting
A consultant report tied the county's Business Oregon grant-funded taskforce work to a proposed BPA transmission upgrade from 115kV to 230kV. The report says CRPUD is still studying the need, cost allocation, siting, and permitting through BPA's LARS process, and that the project could take at least three years once funded. This is a major pre-RFP infrastructure lead for transmission planning and community engagement.
