The Columbia County Chamber of Commerce will host the third event in the 2016 Executive Luncheon Series on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion. 

Keynote speaker Mark Rauckhorst, Executive Vice President of Plant Vogtle 3 & 4 Construction, will discuss “Building the Future of Nuclear Power in America.”  Great progress continues on one of the first new nuclear plants in the United States in more than three decades - a facility that will deliver more affordable and reliable energy for customers for generations to come. The Vogtle project is the state's largest job-producing construction project with more than 6,000 construction workers onsite and 800 permanent jobs expected once the new units begin operation. Once all four units are online, Plant Vogtle is expected to generate more electricity than any other U.S. nuclear facility, enough to power more than one million homes and businesses.  During his discussion, Rauckhorst will focus on the economic impact of Plant Vogtle on Columbia County.
