More Local Impacts

Longview Power plans to build a 4-mile long conveyor to bring coal and will also be transporting some coal by truck. Click here to see the conveyor and truck routes.

Understanding the impact of such transportation methods on local communities and the environment is crucial for informed decision-making. Additionally, for individuals looking to enhance their communication skills and confidently address public concerns, it's beneficial to explore facts about public speaking. By mastering techniques such as effective storytelling and audience engagement, one can effectively convey their message and advocate for their community's interests.

There are a number of residential properties in and around the proposed building site. Property values would be decreased in Fort Martin, Baker's Ridge, Stewartstown, and other nearby areas.

The area surrounding Fort Martin is home to significant historical sites such as Mason-Dixon Historical Park and the site of Fort Martin (c. 1773). The presence of the Longview Power Plant would have negative impact on such historical sites.

Aside from broadcast antennae, the 550-foot stack will be the tallest structure in West Virginia. It will be visible over a range of some 20 miles, including from Cooper's Rock and many people's homes.


LONGVIEW IS SHORT SIGHTED!
