Keep Western Loudoun Rural
Block the
Valley Link North
Transmission Line
We are neighbors in Western Loudoun coming together to oppose the proposed Valley Link North transmission line and protect our farms, forests, scenic landscapes, conservation lands, and historic communities.
Early fall 2026
We are here. Valley Link is drawing route alternatives and has not filed an application yet, which is exactly when public pressure still changes the outcome.

The project
What Is Valley Link North?
Valley North is a proposed 765,000 volt transmission line that would cut a permanent corridor across western Loudoun. Here it would enter from West Virginia over Short Hill Mountain and run through the Lovettsville, Neersville, Taylorstown, and Catoctin areas before crossing the Potomac. It is being built to carry power toward the data centers concentrated to our east.
If approved, it would carve an industrial corridor through family farms, forests, conservation easements, and historic communities. That means towering steel structures, new access roads, vegetation stripped away, and private property taken by easement whether the owner agrees or not.
The routes are still being drawn. While the developers work behind undefined “study corridors,” the people who live here face permanent damage to their land, their property values, and the rural character of western Loudoun. That is exactly why being heard now, before the routes are filed, matters.
