Our Roots in Rural Power
- Clay County Connect is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clay County Electric Cooperative Corporation (CCECC).
- CCECC has provided reliable, safe, and affordable electric to its members for over 80 years. In the 1930’s, the Rural Electrification Administration provided vision and leadership to bring electric to rural areas.
- The adaptation of electricity led to productivity growth in agriculture which served as the central industry for rural life, while other sectors lagged in the economy.
Bridging the Divide
Rural vs. Urban Divide
Rural demands for the newest manufactured items found in urban American homes were dormant. Given the widening disparities between rural and urban settings, the Rural Electrification Administration pushed forward with the electrification of rural America.
