Bill > HJR309

This resolution commends Craig-Botetourt Electric Cooperative for its 90th anniversary, recognizing its nine decades of service since its incorporation in 1936. Established during the rural electrification movement to bring power to underserved mountainous areas of southwestern Virginia, the cooperative has grown to maintain over 1,300 miles of electric lines. As a member-owned, not-for-profit organization headquartered in New Castle, it remains dedicated to providing reliable and affordable electricity while reinvesting in its communities. The resolution also highlights the cooperative's expansion into modern infrastructure, such as its Bee Online Advantage broadband network, which aims to bridge the digital divide and support rural development, and acknowledges the dedication of its staff in maintaining service, especially during challenging conditions.
