In this special episode celebrating Small Business Month, we sit down with Community and Economic Development Coordinator Maggie Reenstra to explore the vital role small businesses play in powering our local communities. From creating jobs to driving innovation and growth, small businesses are at the heart of what makes Coweta and Fayette counties thrive.
Maggie shares how electric cooperatives go beyond simply providing power—they partner with local businesses to help them succeed. We dive into the ways co-ops support business owners through energy audits, helping them identify opportunities to save money, improve efficiency, and plan for future energy needs. Whether you’re running a small storefront or managing a larger operation, these tools can make a big difference in your bottom line.
We also discuss practical resources available to businesses, including how to monitor energy usage online for better visibility and control. Plus, Maggie highlights why Coweta and Fayette counties continue to be attractive destinations for entrepreneurs and growing businesses alike.
