Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together.
Eight Amicalola EMC line crew workers are on their way to southwest Florida to join hundreds of other line crew workers from across the southeast who are working to restore power to the members of Lee County Electric Cooperative, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
Headquartered in North Fort Myers, Florida, Lee County Electric Cooperative is one of the largest cooperatives in the United States with more 250,000 members and more than 8,000 miles of energized line.
This is the second time in recent days Amicalola EMC line crew workers have provided mutual aid, as two line crews just returned from restoring power at Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation in eastern North Carolina.
