“Progressive continues to exemplify emPower’s dedication to increasing the comfort and safety of our residents and preserve the environment through home energy efficiency upgrades,” said Leigh Walker, emPower Program Specialist. “It’s a pleasure to work with Progressive and the many other talented, emPower participating contractors in the community.”
