And of course, when future natural disasters occur, XKIG’s rapid-response teams will be among the first on the scene, restoring critical services and building community resilience. Driven by an unwavering commitment to the communities in which we live and work, XKIG combines the key strengths of our subsidiaries—as well as advanced technologies, strict safety standards, and top workforce retention—to deliver superior service on a large scale. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome River City Construction, founded in 1975 and based in Washington, North Carolina.
