Over 120 attend meeting with alliance

Northwest Iowa group Preservation of Rural Iowa Alliance held a community meeting in efforts to stop the Rock Island Clean Line proposal Monday (Nov. 25).

Over 120 area citizens gathered just three days after RICL’s informational meeting at Parkersburg Veterans Memorial Building.

Residents from Ackley, Aplington, Alexander, Dike, Parkersburg, Grundy Center, Hudson and plenty more petitioned against the private company installing a 375-mile high voltage transmission line through northern Iowa.
