(JEFFERSON, GEORGIA, April 30, 2019) – Jackson EMC recently honored local builders with its Right Choice homebuilder awards, which recognizes area companies that follow to the cooperative’s Right Choice new home construction standards for energy efficiency and comfort.

“The Right Choice home program is 14 years old and still going strong,” said Jackson EMC’s Director of Residential Marketing Christy Queen. “This program is successful because of our builders’ commitment to the program and we are proud to honor them for that commitment.”

Jackson EMC annually recognizes Right Choice homebuilders with best-in-class and several Community Spotlight Awards. For the best-in-class awards, the program presents a Builder of the Year Award and a Leadership Award to an organization in each of three categories. The category classification is based on the number of Right Choice homes completed in a given year.

The Builder of the Year award recognizes the effort and excellence of the company and its team. The Leadership Award recognizes builders or superintendents individual efforts.

The community spotlight award is given to Right Choice builders whose dedication to energy efficient construction has had a tremendous impact on the Jackson EMC community. These are companies who have championed the Right Choice brand in both excellence and volume.

Diamond class awards are given to companies that have built more than 100 Right Choice homes during the year. Platinum class awards honor companies that build 26-99 Right Choice homes during the year. Gold class awards honor builders who built up to 25 Right Choice homes during the year.
