Documents on Impacts of Transmission on ProPerty Value

The impact on property valuations due to the view shed impediment on a 6.5 mile 500kV/230kV transmission line along Route 7 in Data Center Alley was estimated to be  between -1.0% and -19.2% of the current assessment. 

According to the expert witness hired by Loudoun County, the valuation of the properties in this area,  will decrease by a combined $252,025,000 in the set of properties within the mass appraisal study area, where the differential reflects the damages that will be done by the installation of the 500kV/230kV transmission lines! 

For the Aspen-Golden 500kV/230kVtransmission line, no easements were sited on residential private property and the majority of the transmission line was sited along the Route 7 highway - the projected decrease in valuation is entirely due to the view shed impediment.
