Energy/Utilities

Energy and the utilities go hand-in-hand with economic development. The utilities are vested in keeping businesses
healthy because they are big consumers of energy. However, if a business is a big energy user, high bills can hurt their
bottom line. Many utility companies will help businesses cut back energy costs and access programs that provide incentives
to cut energy use. Economic developers can help create this partnership to everyone’s benefit.
