In the 1960's Mr. Moore's two sons, J. B. Moore Jr. and Gene H. Moore began working for the family business. The company was changed from a partnership to a stock C Corporation in 1969. In 1976 Gene H. Moore was elected President upon the retirement of Mr. Moore, Sr. J. B. Moore remained active in the business as a consultant well into the 1990's. The 70's brought in many new challenges with the firm becoming a pre-qualified contractor with the Virginia Department of Highways, ( latter becoming VDOT ). The first set of traffic signals installed by the firm was in Williamsburg in 1972. An unlimited electrical license for North Carolina was obtained in 1976. In 1977 we saw the completion of our first one million dollar electrical job at the Lynchburg Wastewater Plant. The 1980's took us into the Carolina's to complete several jobs at Fort Bragg, and the new fourteen story control Tower and Radar Facility at Raleigh Durham Airport. We also were busy installing and linking over 35 new traffic signals for the Central Business District in the City of Lynchburg. The 90's were our foray into fiber optics. We designed and installed over 44 miles of fiber for the City of Lynchburg's new fiber optic backbone system. We are still busy expanding this system today.
