Phoenix, AZ – CDE Lightband, in Clarksville, Tennessee, received an American Public Power Association Community Service Award at the Association’s national conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
This award recognizes “good neighbor” activities that demonstrate the commitment of the utility and its employees to the community.
CDE Lightband supports youth education in its community; in the past year, employees created a mobile classroom to teach children about electricity distribution and safety, and worked with local schools to provide access.
Clarksville’s rapid growth, military population, state university, nationally recognized public school system, and small town values create a unique opportunity for the utility to educate children and adults about the importance of reliable power and broadband for economic development.
CDE Lightband also supports local charities and non-profits with donations and volunteer work.
