Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded funding to the Town of Forest City to expand Electrical Tie Lines. This project is distinctive in nature as it marks the first time ARC has funded an electrical infrastructure project since September of 2021.

This project will have an enormous and lasting impact on the town’s infrastructure and long-term resiliency. The Town of Forest City currently owns and operates an electrical power distribution system providing electrical services for approximately 4,272 electric meters, of which: 17 are industrial customers, 941 are commercial customers, and 3,314 are residential customers. A wide variety of establishments are served by the Town of Forest City, including churches, families, grocery stores, industrial plants, gas stations, restaurants, and more. These residents and businesses rely on the town for their electrical services, making it essential for both economic prosperity and day-to-day living.
