You make it sound so easy.. If only it worked that way!!

Were really not sure yet how it's going to shake out. We may be left with a property with out trees and unable to add structures or additions. In other words, very hard to sell. The compensation may not be enough for me to want the house after that. Also we have a small culdesac community who are all very close. Just attended a neighbors daughters wedding last night, My wife never wants to move, All of our children have grown up together so it's not as easy as it sounds. My youngest has 2 more years at high school, so hopefully we won't have to do anything before that. I joined this forum because I've been trying to convince my wife to buy a 2nd (or 1st now) home up there instead of the Maine cost. We have many friends and family on the lake, some of whom we live there more than they do. we spend much time at Winni. Even if the house is taken, fair market value is what we've been told to expect, so there is no good deal. I haven't spoken to a lawyer yet, but I believe the route will be approved. We'll see. Sorry to take thread off topic, I'll open another thread in the future. Thanks all.

Sorry to continue to take this off topic also but want to wish you good luck. Having gone through this ourselves it is a miserable process, in our case we were not offered even close to what our property was worth. The whole appeal process is awful. Fortunately the town voted down the deal so we were saved anyway with going through the whole appeal process. But it still costs us a lot of money.
PM me if you want to know more.

And now back to NHEC rates. The company who charges $20 before you even buy any electricity.

Question, and not to get off track.....

Is there any charges built into NHEC rates to provide services to folks in outlining areas where
service is limited or hard to reach ? I think those charges were buried into the Federal taxes somewhere ?

I seem to remember this was the case with Telephone company, burying charges into the Federal taxes, for this same purpose?

Just curious.....

I was looking into building a house about a half a mile from a NHEC pole. They wanted $30/FOOT plus an easement.... no thanks.
