Many nearby residents, including members of the Sun Valley Community Coalition, had visions of the old plant becoming a community space, maybe a public market or food hall. But this spring, they noticed extensive work going on at the property and realized that Xcel was going ahead with plans to destroy the building. Not only that, but the plan called for replacing it with an electricity substation.
The foundation will first examine the possible negative environmental impacts of a substation, he says. From there, it will explore the possible impacts on the neighborhood. But in the short term, Xcel needs to generate enough electricity to support increased development and electrification; putting a substation on the plant site could help.
“This really offers a great opportunity for the city, as well as for Xcel, to look at the history of what's happened on the highway, in adjacent neighborhoods and take a step in a different direction and really think of it as more of a chance to understand damage that's happened in the past,” he says.that aims to provide more housing and business opportunities to Sun Valley residents makes a substation at the Zuni location nonsensical.
