Idaho Power’s Community Advisory Process

Following the review of comments received during scoping in 2008, Idaho Power initiated the Community Advisory Process which helped develop Idaho Power’s revised proposed route for the Boardman to Hemingway Transmission Line Project.

Idaho Power will continue working with the public, resource and regulatory agencies, government officials, and other interest groups and organizations throughout the project. View Idaho Power's View Idaho Power's Community Advisory Process page for more information.
