Through meaningful relationships and collaboration, our team works closely with local government officials, public safety professionals, public works leaders, and community organizations to understand local needs, connect stakeholders with valuable resources, and advance initiatives that strengthen our communities.

We believe strong communities are built through collaboration, and our Community Affairs team is ready to connect, and explore opportunities to make a lasting, positive impact in the communities we serve.

Contact your local Community Affairs Manager to discuss how we can work together on topics such as:

  • Community Infrastructure Projects
  • Fire Department Safety Presentations
  • Energy Efficiency Programs
  • Municipal Tax Support
  • Annexation and Franchise Agreements
