Midstate Whittier Power Line
The proposed power line would begin at the intersection of La Pine State Rec. Road and Whittier Road and run north approximately 2.43 miles to Foster Road. The project would involve the installation of 40 foot tall power poles every 300 feet along the described route. The project is needed to supply power to the residents of Southern Deschutes County and to provide a more reliable power source for existing customers of Midstate Electric Cooperative.
