Polk-Burnett Supports Economic Development

Improving our local quality of life

Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative supports economic development in our service territory, and we partner on projects that benefit our community.

We believe economic development leads to:

  1. An improved quality of living for all who live and work here
  2. Capital investment in our community
  3. Growth in our local tax base
  4. Workforce development and skilled labor
  5. Creation and retention of good local jobs
  6. Lower unemployment and higher income levels for local residents

If you’d like to talk about economic development opportunities in our service area or about a specific project in need of supplemental financing, please let us know. We look forward to working with you.
