Walton EMC

Walton EMC was formed in 1936 when seven community leaders each gave $1 toward the organizational expenses of the co-op, which would provide electricity to residents in rural northeast Georgia. Investor-owned utilities figured it wasnt profitable enough to run lines through these areas because the customer base was sparse. That meant local residents had to do it themselves.
