Building Project Update: Celebrating One Year of Progress

In November 2024, Boone Power (then known as Boone REMC) broke ground on our facility improvement project at our current location on Indianapolis Avenue in Lebanon. We’re excited to share that one-third of the project is now complete after the first year! 

Four of the five buildings have started construction. The three on the south side of our property , which will be for storage, maintenance, and training, are set to be finished in the next few months.

Floors have been poured, and mechanical and HVAC work has started on our main administrative building, which we hope to move into sometime in 2026. We will continue to provide any changes to the procedures for visiting our office in this magazine, on our website, and via our social media channels. 

Since moving into our current administration building in 1999, we’ve experienced a 152% increase in the number of active meters we serve. This growth has highlighted the need for additional space to accommodate our expanding team and equipment. Our existing facilities have limited capacity for workstations, covered storage, and parking, and the height of our operations buildings does not accommodate maintenance on bucket trucks. 

Additionally, we’ve faced ongoing maintenance challenges in our current buildings. The decision to build new facilities ensures we can continue to serve our members safely, effectively, and efficiently.
