If you live on some of the side streets in Demorest, you can’t help but notice that Georgia Power has been replacing power poles.
It’s unclear how long the project has been ongoing or how long it will last, but for the last two weeks the electric provider has been working in the Hazel Avenue area.
Now Habersham reached out to Georgia Power for details about the project. Unfortunately, with spring break this week, some of the people that could provide the information were unavailable to fully answer our questions.
However, Georgia Power’s Manager of Public Relations and Communications John Kraft did respond by email to give some general information about the project.
“Georgia Power makes investments in ongoing projects across the state designed to maintain our electric grid infrastructure and ensure customers continue to have access to clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy.” Kraft said. “In these efforts, we work hard to keep the community informed and minimize power interruptions, traffic impacts and other disruptions that come with construction work like this.”
Now Habersham will update this story as more information becomes available.
