City buys land for substation
Tipp City Council voted Monday to buy property at 4155 Peters Road to use as the site of the city’s fourth electric substation. The request was to buy nine acres for the substation and associated transmission line for $270,000 plus any closing costs.
The city has been working since 2019 to acquire land for the project from owner Donald Stine, said City Manager Tim Eggleston. Once the land is in hand, work will be initiated on the final project design before bidding and construction. The project is expected to take up to two years to complete.
