Craighead Electric Cooperative Cooperation has purchased 5.2 acres of land located at 4500 S. Stadium Boulevard in Jonesboro.
Craighead Electric Cooperative is returning $1.4 million to its members this year and you can claim your check at one of the three events in June.
While the average residential electric bill will increase by about $14.13, from $112.45 to $126.58, the new rates will still compare favorably to other rural utilities in Arkansas and across the nation.

CECC will submit a rate adjustment request to the Arkansas Public Service Commission in July.

To celebrate our 85th year in business, we are hosting three capital credit check pick-up events: 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. June 8th at the Jonesboro headquarters, June 15th at the Paragould district office, and June 22nd at the Walnut Ridge district office.
