COLUMBUS, Miss. - Area construction companies and local Golden Triangle, Miss., businesses will have the opportunity to attend a vendor fair Oct. 24 (from 1-4 p.m.) for information on the Southern Cross Transmission Project, a proposed $700 million wind energy transmission line, which if approved by the public service commission, will run through central Mississippi. Southern Cross is hosting the fair at the Courtyard Marriott in Columbus. The company is looking for construction and land maintenance firms, plus equipment rentals, food and lodging services. SC is a subsidiary of Pattern Energy Group with plans to build the 400-mile, 500-kilovolt line from Texas to east Mississippi. The company filed its formal submission and route proposal with the Mississippi Public Service Commission in April. MPSC has not approved the project. PSC commissioner Brandon Presley said the agency plans to hold a series of hearings. The schedule hearings should be set within 30 days. The proposed route finishes in Lowndes County at a $300 million converter station set to be built in Caledonia. (Source: Columbus Dispatch 10/23/17)
