Bill > SR812

This resolution recognizes and commends GreyStone Power Corporation for its 90 years of service in improving the lives of its members and communities. Originally founded as the Farmers Electrical Association in 1936 to bring electricity to rural areas that lacked service due to high costs, it was later renamed Douglas County Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) and eventually GreyStone Power Corporation. As a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative, GreyStone Power has expanded its infrastructure to serve over 135,000 members across eight counties, providing not only electricity but also contributing to telephone service, establishing a credit union, implementing advanced power restoration systems, and founding EMC Security for safety and fire protection. Most recently, it launched GreyStone Connect to address the digital divide by providing broadband internet access. The resolution acknowledges GreyStone Power's commitment to its communities through charitable giving, returning capital credits to its members, and employee volunteer efforts.
