Community Outreach Sessions

You're invited to upcoming open houses to learn more about the Gopher to Badger Link.

The MariBell Transmission Project team is hosting open houses for local communities. The MariBell project is a segment of the Gopher to Badger Link, which will enhance and modernize energy infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of homes, farms and local businesses. Please stop by any of the open houses as your schedule allows. There will not be a formal presentation—attendees may come and go at their convenience. Project representatives will be available to answer questions and provide project-related information.
