Stadium Park Extension
69kV Transmission Line Project
AEP Ohio plans to continue to improve the reliability of the electric transmission grid in central Stark County. The
Stadium Park Extension 69-kilovolt (kV) Transmission Line Project includes rebuilding approximately 3.5 miles of
transmission line. The projected costs of the upgrades are approximately $7 million, an investment that will
enhance reliability and accommodate future growth in the region by strengthening the electric infrastructure.
