Fredericksburg, Va. — The Caroline County Department of Public Works successfully completed renovations at the County’s Main Recreational Park and needed assistance with relocating an extra 35-foot flagpole to a prominent spot between the two ball fields. Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) linemen Mike Luck, Zach Smith, Zack Zelenick, Robert Bertram, Justin Perez and Kevin Johnson showed up and got the pole relocated.

“I cannot express how instrumental Rappahannock Electric Cooperative was in helping us with this aspect of the project,” said Ted Lambert, Deputy Director of Caroline County’s Department of Public Works. “REC’s team showed up early, went above and beyond what was asked of them, and did it all with a smile. Their efforts were deliberate and efficient – making the task seem easier than it truly was.”

REC provides electric service to over 172,000 connections in parts of 22 Virginia counties. With its general office in Fredericksburg, Va., the Cooperative operates and maintains more than 18,000 miles of power lines through its service area, which ranges from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
