NineStar gives mulch path facelift
MCCORDSVILLE — The Town of McCordsville again was the beneficiary of NineStar Connect’s Cooperative Day of service. Ten employees with NineStar spread new mulch around the Town’s half-mile mulch path in Town Hall Park.
NineStar Connect was established in 2011 when Hancock Telecom and Central Indiana Power merged their cooperatives, one of only two collectives to combine telecommunications and utilities companies in the country.
The communications division offers services including broadband Internet, telephone, video and security to residential and business customers. The electric services division provides electric power to customers in Hancock and parts of Hamilton, Madison and Rush counties. NineStar Connect has approximately 14,000 customers with about 5,000 customers having services from both the communications and electric divisions.
