FORT MILL, S.C. — Residents, on Thursday, learned more about a proposed electric substation in Pineville.
A company wants to build it in the backyard of a Fort Mill neighborhood between Miller Road and Greenway Drive.
That plan would be to buy nearly an acre of the parking lot from the nearby Miller’s Flee Market.
The market and neighborhood sit side by side with each other.
Neighbors have expressed several concerns about the potential impact this could have on property values, as well as the health and safety of residents.
However, officials said the town needs the new substation to handle growth, prevent overloading, and allow for maintenance without power outages.
Industrial sites didn’t meet the requirements, so they went with the proposal.
The town council will talk about the proposal later this month.
