Couple rejects $131,000 offer for data center power line on their property

Jerry Zelenka has rejected a $131,000 offer from American Transmission Company to place a data center power line on his property. Zelenka turned down the proposal due to concerns regarding extensive tree removal and the demolition of numerous buildings on his land.

In addition to the physical disruption to his property, Zelenka is troubled by the adequacy of the financial compensation provided in the offer. He also faces the potential threat of eminent domain regarding the utility project.
