Can you run a day care center with a 90-foot tall, 345-kilovolt electric transmission line running through your property? Chester McGurk felt he could not and filed suit against the utility that until recently was called Connecticut Light & Power.
Now the owner of the shuttered West Suffield business has had a judge reject several of his claims that the utility company had no right to construct a huge transmission line on the property. McGurk said he was forced to close the day care because of health concerns after CL&P, in 2013, added the 345-kilovolt line to a 115-kilovolt line that has been on the property since 1924. The new line was constructed about 200 feet from the building that housed the day care center.
