Record #:

Abstract:
When a hurricane strikes, power lines often go down, endangering persons who may come near them and disrupting vital communication links and public services. To protect their lines and customer services during future storms, the Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation (BEMC) will bury its lines. A grant of $6.2 million will help relocate 88 miles of power lines underground in four Brunswick County coastal communities.
