IUOE 147: Local Infrastructure Built by Skilled Operators

Dear [Lawmaker],

To Members of Lunenburg’s Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission,

On behalf of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 147, we are writing to express our full support for the Laurel Branch Solar project. Our heavy equipment operators have the experience and training to ensure this 80 MW facility is built efficiently and with the highest regard for safety and environmental standards.

We understand the importance of preserving the character of rural Virginia. Because our members live in this region, we have a vested interest in doing the job right. The Laurel Branch project represents a practical solution to our community's needs, offering steady pay and professional certainty for workers without forcing families to scatter across the state to find a good paycheck.

By approving this project, you are choosing to invest in local people and local infrastructure. We ask the Board of Supervisors to move forward with Laurel Branch Solar and keep our skilled operators working right here at home.

Sincerely,
______
