Talk to your mortgage holder, they may not want this happening either. Property values are dropping fast, and the offer may well be less than you owe, and definitely less than the land was worth a few months ago.

Who owns alegheny power? It is possible you may have stock there if you have a 401k. It can't hurt to check, and have family and all other like minded people check. Fighting this from inside the company, if you have voting stock, is a plan more likely to succeed. You could make a motion to remove the people responsible for the plan, just to get the message across. Also, have they floated the bonds out to pay for all of this? They probably have, and it may have been in the other state. It's still one more place to try a block. If they haven't, attack their funding. Educate people on what the bond will do, and theres a chance it won't go through.
