Concern for the Community

One of Randolph Electric's core values is community involvement. That's why we invest in the development of the areas we serve and the people who live there. This value sets us apart from other electric utilities and demonstrates the cooperative difference. Here's a brief look of how REMC has been involved recently.

Groundbreaking at F3EC

In November 2023, CEO Dale Lambert addressed the crowd at a ceremony celebrating the new Farm, Food and Family Education Center, expected to open in early 2025. The Asheboro-based center will house N.C. Cooperative Extension, Randolph County Center offices, and the Randolph County Soil and Water Department. F3EC will also include an exhibit space for 4-H events, agricultural education programs, community events, and agricultural fairs.

REMC provided a $4,000,000 loan through the USDA's REDLG program. As funds are repaid, REMC will replenish its Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund for relending on the next project.
