Dominion Energy is moving forward with plans to acquire additional land in Charleston's Seagate Village for a third set of high-voltage power lines as part of its Church Creek transmission project. This expansion aims to address future electrical needs and enhance the reliability of the electric system for growing demand in Charleston County. The project involves a new transmission line and the replacement of existing infrastructure with galvanized steel poles along an approximately 6-mile route. While Dominion Energy states that all new poles will be within the existing right-of-way, a limited amount of new right-of-way is required.

Odessa Faces Water Shortage, World Bank Collaborates on New Pipeline Feasibility Study

Odessa Faces Water Shortage, World Bank Collaborates on New Pipeline Feasibility Study

Odessa, Ukraine, is projected to face an acute shortage of drinking water within 10-15 years if proactive measures are not taken. Serhiy Sukhomlyn, head of the State Agency for Infrastructure Restoration and Development of Ukraine, highlighted this impending crisis. To address this, a main pipeline route from Odessa to Reni is currently under development, with the aim of drawing water from the Danube River mouth to supply Odessa and potentially Kherson. The State Agency is actively collaborating with the World Bank on a feasibility study for the construction of this large-scale pipeline. Sukhomlyn believes that such a project could not only secure Odessa's water supply but also significantly boost the development of the entire region, including expanding land irrigation to increase crop yields and creating conditions for new settlements.

Ketchikan Secures $20.6 Million Federal Funding for Saxman Seaport Project

Ketchikan has received $20.6 million in Federal Transit Administration funding for the Saxman Seaport project. This initiative aims to construct a new terminal for the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) ferry service, specifically designed to alleviate congestion in downtown Ketchikan's waterfront. The project is envisioned as a comprehensive commercial and transit hub, extending beyond just a ferry terminal. It will include dedicated staging areas for commercial cargo, facilities for handling freight containers, direct connections to local highways, and public access points such as potential boat launches.

This funding accelerates the project's timeline, which was previously part of a longer-range plan...
