In the fall of 2011, a group of Platte County landowners formed Concerned Citizens Against KCP&L Segment 62. The organization was mobilized to combat Kansas City Power and Light’s (KCP&L) proposal to build a new power line. The utility’s plans call for the line to run northeast from Iatan, across Highway M and parallel to Highway H as it travels east. It then crosses both Interstate 29 and Highway EE before turning southeast into Clay County to a substation in Nashua. It would cross directly through New Market and just to the south of Dearborn.
