Utility won't build near sacred Cherokee mound (Charlotte, Asheville: land, station)

[SunnyKayak]

Charlotte-based Duke Energy says it will change plans to build an electrical
substation near a ridge that overlooks a site sacred to the Cherokee tribe.
It has identified two alternative sites and will pick one by the end of the year.
The tribe considered the Kituwah mound its ancestral birthplace.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Sunny Kyak. Sounds like Duke Energy is a good neighbor after all. Especially since they recently donated land for a new NC state park.
