HEC is a proud partner in the Harrisonburg community. We realize the importance of being a good neighbor and work hard to make a positive impact in our community through our service and community activities. The following are just some of the ways HEC and its employees give back to the community where we live and work.
- HEC is a major sponsor of the "First Night" New Year celebration and has been since the event's beginning.
- Our employees decorate downtown Harrisonburg with lights during the holiday season.
- HEC offers a tree replacement program to customers who have trees on their property that are regularly trimmed by HEC to maintain electrical clearances needed for "high voltage wires." The cost of removal of the old tree and stump are covered by HEC.
- The Commission has assisted in improving the aesthetics of the community by installing distribution lines underground where possible.
- We have donated trees for planting at local schools.
- HEC works with "Adopt-A-Highway" to regularly keep Evelyn Byrd Avenue clean.
- HEC sponsors employees for the March of Dimes "Walk-A-Thon."
- Many HEC employees are coaches for our community's Little League Baseball and Peewee Football teams.
- As part of a "Mutual Aid Agreement," HEC employees help to bring relief to other municipalities in Virginia during disasters.
