Thank you to the Alabama Rural Electric Association of Cooperatives for the opportunity to join you in Orange Beach. Strengthening utility infrastructure in rural communities is vital to attracting jobs, retaining talent, and improving quality of life. As an economic development consultant and site selector, I have seen firsthand and am in agreement with you that thoughtful permitting reform can make a difference in bringing new investment to rural Alabama. #Our67 #OrangeBeachAL #BaldwinCounty
