Electrical crews continue overhead work inside the Peoples Bank Building, installing wiring throughout the newly framed ceiling structure. With the walls still open, electricians are laying out the system that will power lighting and other components throughout the space.

Crews are pulling wires into metal junction boxes—protective enclosures where electrical connections are made—and carefully stripping the wire ends to expose the metal conductors needed for secure connections. This step ensures that future fixtures, such as ceiling lights, can be safely installed and powered as construction progresses.
