Arizona Public Service will mark its 140th anniversary April 29 with a community beautification investment and the single largest day of volunteerism in company history, the company said in a release on Monday.
Founded in 1886 as the Phoenix Illuminating Gas and Electric Co., APS has grown alongside the state it calls home — from a pioneering, locally rooted utility to serving more than 1.4 million homes and businesses with safe, reliable and affordable energy across Arizona’s vibrant and rapidly evolving communities.
To honor that shared history, APS is giving back to the state as its employees will volunteer in communities statewide as part of the company’s largest-ever Day of Service.
