Some communities and their school districts could rake in millions.

If a proposed, and highly opposed, power line ends up coming through the area.

New York Regional Interconnect wants to build a nearly 200 mile, high voltage power line through Upstate New York.

In a recent letter from NYRI President Chris Thompson, he says economic advantages would come in the form of reduced electricity rates and hundreds of jobs during its construction.

He also says NYRI will make property tax payments yearly to host municipalities and school districts.

That would be worth an estimated $37.2 million annually.
