Pinecrest leaders fired off a letter to state environmental regulators seeking more information on how a high voltage power line project would affect their village.
Florida Power & Light has proposed installing overhead 230-kV transmission lines connecting its nuclear power plants at Turkey Point to a substation in downtown Miami starting in 2012. Part of the proposed path of the lines would be in Pinecrest along U.S. 1.
