The Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P)/ Yankee Gas Service led Community Builders Institute (CBI) has won its third award in its nine-year history. The Utility Telecom Council (UTC) has given CBI its Apex Award, one of five it awarded, for 2011. UTC recognized CL&P and Yankee Gas for Community Builders Institute because CBI employs "communication to improve the lives of people in the communities" the companies serve. The Utilities Telecom Council is a global trade association dedicated to creating a favorable business, regulatory, and technological environment for companies that own, manage, or provide critical telecommunications systems in support of their core business. CBI, now in its 9th year, is a land use and economic development program for public officials.
In 2008, CBI won both the "Program of the Year" from the International Economic Development Council and the "Public Service" award from the Connecticut Chapter of the American Planning Association.
Congratulations!
