A letter from the manager - Building for our Member's Future
After nearly 17 months of deliberation, the Tri-County Electric Cooperative Board of Directors have committed to building a new Cooperative complex.
This decision was not made lightly or without considerable thought. Months of research and discussion led your board of directors to the conclusion that a new building complex made more sense, both economically and for the future, than spending money to address the problems at our existing facilities. The board approved a motion to build a new complex with a total cost not to exceed $3.2 million. This compares to estimates on the cost to repair Tri-County’s existing facilities which totaled $1.08 million - $609,061 for the office building; $187,005 for the north truck storage building; $213,434 for the east warehouse/truck storage building; and $72,618 for the pole-yard building. These costs did not include the expenses associated with temporarily relocating the offices while repairs were being made. Additionally a functional analysis of the buildings also identified several deficiencies with parking, work flow, energy efficiency and the size and use of the existing structures.
During the course of their deliberations, the board considered the possibility of merging or consolidating with a neighboring cooperative. They decided that it was in the best interest of Tri-County Electric to remain a separate entity.
