From the meeting
At its September 30, 2026 meeting, the commissioners held a public update on the Grid Growth transmission line project and said only a pre-application notification letter had been filed on August 28, 2026. The update said no route had been finalized and no formal application had been submitted to the Ohio Power Siting Board. It identified Grid Growth Ventures, a joint venture of Transource Energy and FirstEnergy Transmission, as the project proposer for the Thistlewood-Marysville 765-kV transmission line.
Decision state: informational; the route was still open.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Union County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Union County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Union County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more utilities government opportunities in Ohio?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces utilities pre-RFPs in Ohio as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
