MILWAUKEE — Last year, the Cookeville plant — with help from the local Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, and the Tennessee Valley Authority — identified opportunities to significantly reduce electricity consumption as well as natural gas and water usage in the 54,500-square-foot facility.
As a result of its efforts to conserve energy and resources, the plant and its 75 employees received the A. O. Smith Chairman’s Green Star award during a special ceremony.
