Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28

During 2019, the organization investigated legal avenues to protect and educate citizens of the heber valley against predatory tactics of local and regional power companies. One issue included in this education was the continuous practice of private power companies to impact the values of citizen homes (without the knowledge of the citizens) along planned transmission corridors. The organizatioon initiated a widespread appraisal of homes that would be affected by transmission lines within midway. Legal challenges to of the city of midway promoted city officials to compel volt to raise money to help bury power lines in miway, utah. The mayor and city council asked for volt to help raise the funds. Much of the funds were understood to be refunded if the efforts of the city and citizens did not ultimately result in the line burial project taking place.
