In efforts to keep our community informed, Eagle Township was notified by ITC Holdings, an independent electricity transmission company (https://www.itc-holdings.com/), that they filed their plan with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) on Tuesday July 16, 2024. This is in regard to the proposed electric transmission line that is to extend from the existing Nelson Road Substation in New Haven Township, Gratiot County, south to the existing Oneida Substation in Oneida Township, Eaton County. This new transmission line may pass through the following Clinton County municipalities (from north to south): Lebanon Township; Dallas Township; Westphalia Township; Village of Westphalia; and Eagle Township.

In October 2023, ITC Holdings hosted an open house at the Eagle Township Hall to meet with the community. Click here to view the original posting on the Eagle Township website.
