ITC Continues In Its Thumb Project
ITC is required by MPSC to finish the project providing for transmission lines through the Thumb. Because of this requirement, ITC is moving forward to initiate appraisals in the remaining parts of Huron County and all of Sanilac County in order to complete the project in a timely fashion. The process requires ITC to make a good faith written offer of not less than an appraised value. At this time, ITC is purportedly offering about $5,700 per acre, in Sanilac, with only a portion of the per acre price being paid because the purported easement does not affect the remaining property interest. Clearly, there will be disputes about the damages at some future date. However, ITC is moving forward as should and would be expected.
