JAMESTOWN, Va. (AP) — A new draft review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has found that a power company had no better alternative to stringing high-voltage lines across a historic stretch of Virginia's James River.

The power lines cross a part of the river that's near where Britain established its first permanent colony, Jamestown, in what is now the United States. Dominion Energy said the power lines are necessary to prevent rolling blackouts in cities such as Newport News.
