Ameren Three Rivers Project
Rock Island Clean Line
Grain Belt Express Line
Those are three massive powerline projects currently set to cross either the entirety of Illinois or a good portion of it in the next 3 years. While Ameren and Rock Island have, or are about to, submit their plans to the Illinois Commerce Commission for approval, the Grain Belt Express Line has yet to submit its plan (though it has begun land acquisition in certain portions of Illinois).
If all three gain approval, they will need to acquire land for over 700 miles of land in central and northern Illinois. Even though they are otherwise private companies, once approved, each line will have the power of eminent domain to acquire private land.
If you are a landowner in the path of one of these or other powerlines, please contact our office at any time at 1-888-318-3761 or visit us on the web at www.landownerattorneys.com.
