Western MarionArea Improvements

Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) plans to strengthen the electric transmission system in northeastern Indiana. The proposed improvements in Grant County involve rebuilding about 5 miles of power line and improvements to several local substations. The project involves rebuilding some sections of line in the company’s current right-of-way. Other sections of the project include re-routes and require new easements. These improvements increase reliability, reduce power outages and speed recovery of service when outages occur.

I&M representatives gathered input from community members and landowners in the project area during an Open House in December 2019. This information was used to determine a final proposed line route.
