In October, CHEC hosted over 200 members at the Operations Center Open House. Members enjoyed touring the new facility, visiting with staff and a barbecue dinner. Many kids and adults also enjoyed the view from a ride in a bucket with a CHEC lineman!

The new building, on Light Plant Rd in Buxton, was completed earlier this year and now houses the Cooperative's fleet of trucks, offices for operations staff, a large training area and kitchen facilities. The Cooperative is now working to convert the old vehicle storage building to a new warehouse, as the current warehouse has flooded repeatedly during storms.
