In addition,the sharing <br /> of personnel,equipment and supplies with other city departments or projects promote the efficiencies <br /> within local governments.Also, municipal utilities can serve as a valuable tool for economic <br /> development.The flexibility to negotiate incentives and a prestigious RP3 award demonstrating the <br /> reliability of quality service are major advantages for the community in attracting and retaining <br /> commercial and industrial customers. Local ownership provides for local employment which means the <br /> customer's utility dollars stay in the community supporting the local economy. <br /> In the end, public power does exactly what its name suggests; it puts power in the hands of the <br /> public.
