FortisGrid believes infrastructure should do more than deliver power. It should create meaningful value for the communities where projects are developed.
We engage early, listen to local priorities, and look for practical opportunities to strengthen resilience, support local economic activity, and create lasting relationships throughout the development process.
Listen Early. Build Better.
Community engagement should begin before construction and continue throughout development and operation.
We want communities to understand what is being proposed, what is still being studied, and what potential benefits and challenges may come with a project. We welcome questions, local knowledge, and constructive feedback while projects can still evolve.
Our goal is to build an open development process where communities have a meaningful opportunity to understand and participate in what is taking shape.
Infrastructure Designed With Resilience in Mind
Where practical and approved, FortisGrid projects may evaluate opportunities for generation, energy storage, and microgrid infrastructure to support communities during extended outages or regional emergencies.
Potential priorities may include:
Actual capabilities will vary by project and depend on engineering, utility coordination, local participation, permitting, and applicable approvals.
Energy and infrastructure investment can create benefits that extend beyond the project itself. As projects advance, FortisGrid looks for opportunities to support local businesses, workers, and communities. Potential benefits may include:

Expanded Municipal Tax Base
New infrastructure and development may contribute to the local tax base as projects are built and become operational.

Local Contractors & Vendors
Projects can create opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, professional services, and other businesses.

Workforce Development
As projects move toward construction, FortisGrid may pursue apprenticeship, skilled-trades, and workforce-development partnerships.

New Industrial Activity
Dependable energy and infrastructure can support new industrial, commercial, and technology opportunities.

Community Investment
Projects may create opportunities to support local initiatives, critical infrastructure, and other community priorities as development progresses.

Long-Term Partnerships
We aim to build lasting relationships with communities rather than treating engagement as a one-time step toward project approval.
More Than Energy. A Foundation for Community Growth. Our goal is not simply to develop power in a community. It is to develop power that creates value for the community.
FortisGrid brings together energy development, infrastructure, community engagement, and economic opportunity to build projects designed with the long term in mind.
