Black Hills Energy, a Linhart PR client since 2014, was recognized for “Preserving the Right to Serve: Black Hills Energy Pueblo, Colo. Franchise Protection Plan,” which tells the story of a multi-year effort to defeat a municipalization campaign, defend the company’s electric service franchise and help the community avoid the costs and risks of a government utility takeover. Linhart PR was part of the Black Hills Energy Franchise Protection Team, which developed and implemented the successful, award-winning plan.
