Duke changes tree-trimming policies
CINCINNATI, OHIO - Duke Energy has responded to complaints from neighbors on Cincinnati's West side.
In a series of meetings with leaders in both Green and Miami townships, the company agreed to stop clear-cutting trees underneath its major power lines.
Instead, the utility will prune trees to a point where they won't cause a problem for at least six-years.
Duke Energy says its new policy also applies in Anderson Township.
Homeowners in Green Township were invited to review the new plan recently at the town hall.
