COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Another piece of the AMP-Ohio power plant proposal in Meigs County clears a state hurdle.

The Ohio Power Siting Board has authorized the construction of a 345 kilovolt electric transmission line.

The five mile long line through Letart and Sutton Townships will connect the AMP-Ohio generating station to the regional electric grid.

AMP-Ohio plans to begin construction in 2009.

The transmission line and generating station are expected to be fully operational by 2013.
