James Martin named county communications director, commissioners hear from SOPEC

The commissioners also heard from Mary Nally, Southeast Ohio regional liaison for the Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC), who provided an educational brief about the organization. Nally explained that SOPEC provides “simple, valuable and reliable public energy programs that help communities achieve their energy and sustainability goals.” These programs act as an alternative to private for-profit energy brokers.
