According to an announcement by the Town of Huntersville, this distinction comes as a testament to the community's dedication to providing exceptional electric service.
The accolades don't just accumulate on the town's overall prowess; there's a specific tilt toward the way Huntersville esteems its personnel — through the public power People Award. Huntersville made strides in establishing a model to nurture and keep its staff, something not every city prioritizes. David Lucore, the Electric Systems Manager, doesn't just lead the operations; he's fostered a framework for employee evolution within the local utility industry. "As we come back from the Labor Day weekend, I am thrilled to celebrate our local utility professionals who are the true recipients of this award," Bobby Williams, Assistant Town Manager, told the Town of Huntersville news release.
Following this recognition, which was conferred at the annual ElectriCities' conference, Huntersville is painted as a shining example of a public power provider investing smartly in a workforce built for the future. It underscores a symbiotic relationship between the town and the utility, emphasizing local control and community benefits above all else.
