members. Casey Shelton, business manager for
IBEW System Council U-19, credited Alabama Power
for taking action to address the need for greater
connectivity and the benefits it will bring to Alabama.
"Our industry and the work we do changes daily,"
Shelton said. "We don't want to just keep up, we
want to stay ahead. What Alabama Power is doing is
going to provide work to support a lot of people and
families, and it's going to bring growth to our state."
Helping people and businesses, creating jobs,
paving the way to a more prosperous future — that's
what Alabama Power's investment in fiber, and its
deployment of the Connectivity Crew, boils down to,
Moore said.
"Fiber creates opportunities that touch on every
aspect of our business," he said. "This crew will be
at the forefront of helping us do a lot of new things
that will be good for our customers and good for
Alabama."
