When businesses have a real choice in their utility and connectivity providers, it’s about more than just price or convenience—it’s about who they trust to help them thrive. Purpose Lodging experienced this firsthand when selecting a site for their new Fairfield Inn & Suites, located in Cornelia. Available infrastructure was a critical factor, but so was the reputation behind it.
“When selecting the location for our Fairfield Inn & Suites, the reliability of Habersham EMC and the high-speed connectivity offered by Trailwave Fiber played a key role in our decision,” shares Karla Plam, Director of Operations for Purpose Lodging. “From day one, we’ve experienced dependable service and exceptional local support—both critical to our daily operations and to delivering a seamless experience for our business travelers and guests.”
Purpose Lodging’s story is a perfect example of what customer choice looks like in action. When given options, they chose the team whose reputation for reliability and service stood out. As Karla explains, the relationship with HEMC and Trailwave goes well beyond providing power and fiber—it’s about partnership, shared values, and a commitment to community.
For HEMC and Trailwave, being “Connected to Business” means creating the foundation for growth and economic development across the region. By delivering the reliable service and advanced connectivity today’s businesses need, they help attract new investment and support the success of local enterprises. That’s the difference when businesses have the freedom to choose, and why so many continue to place their trust in HEMC and Trailwave as catalysts for progress.
