Meeting the needs of members Te cooperative’s new facility will help it to continue to meet the needs of members for decades more. Te next generation running the cooperative will have a facility which will enable them to expand if needed.
Te new facility will have adequate space for the first time in decades to host district meetings, youth trip interviews, host special community events, and employee and safety meetings. Currently the cooperative uses community buildings around the town of Hooker and surrounding communities to host these types of meetings.
Te new facility will also have a welcoming lobby with displays of energy efficiency items, renewable options, and other promotional products.
