This Month’s Issue: Co-ops and Community

One of the guiding principles for co-ops is “Commitment to Community,” and North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are finding creative ways to honor that commitment. By investing in the communities they serve, co-ops are helping to attract and retain businesses, create jobs, and generally support the people that make rural North Carolina a great place to live.
