Duke Energy Staging operation on 135 acres of Village property on 470. Shuttle buses running non stop for the 3000 employees.

They showed that on the Weather Channel. Quite impressive.

Pretty cool.. Any idea where they can house that many people until they have to start their work?

Props to The Developer for the allowing the use of the land; I'm sure there will be some that will jump on their "bad-mouth The Developer" bandwagon for doing something good for the state of Florida.

Lots of boom trucks.... but our electrical service is buried... So this is for areas AROUND The Villages?

Good question. I would imagine the coastal areas would need the help more than we do here. Maybe there isn't enough real estate to stage the trucks closer to the coast.

As a retired utility worker I to had a Boom truck but on that boom truck was everything I needed to also do the underground work. We did have rigs that were only good for underground work but most sat idle as the big rigs were always out. Besides that the electric can only get underground when fed from above at some point. Very impressive response be safe guys and gals !

The trucks are at the speedway.

We are pretty much the middle of the state. They can head in the directions they are needed. Thankful for them.
