Progress makes Progress

When power hadn't been brought onto the campus at the end of last week, we were concerned and called Marty Clayton who is the Manager of Community Relations for Progress Energy. Marty was very concerned about the threat to our schedule and made arrangements to have several crews on our site on Monday. Their teams made tremendous strides that day -- including burying a power line from the street all the way to the back of the campus in one day. Yesterday, they installed our power transformer (the green box in the background). Our electric contractor (Triple R) is now connecting the transformers to our buildings and we should have power in the buildings soon.

Progress' team is still on the property running wire for the light poles we will have at our entrance and in the parking lot. Marty has been contacting me daily to make sure things are going well now. This is a great example of a company responding to a customer's need with action and effectiveness. Thanks, Progress!
