Excitement was in the air last week at the groundbreaking ceremony for our new corporate headquarters building. This marks a significant milestone that will enhance the heart of Clinton while also serve our members and customers.

On 11/1/2023 at 4:00 p.m. several members of our team and community gathered at 1322 Sunset Ave, Clinton NC 28328 for this special occasion. We celebrated the start of construction for our new corporate headquarters building, which will serve as a hub for Star Communications.


The event featured speeches from Board President Thurman Smith as well as CEO Donna Bullard, who shared their vision for the future of our community and the positive impact the new building will have. “This building is an opportunity for STAR to reconnect with all employees and offer a space where customers and the community will be able to interact and connect,” said Thurman Smith, Board President at STAR. “We’re thrilled to take this step forward and create a place that will enrich our community for generations to come.”

The new building will house a modern display of technology, multipurpose rooms for education, and training facilities, providing a versatile space for learning, events, and activities. It will also be environmentally friendly, and LEED certified showcasing our commitment to sustainability and a greener future.

“STAR’s previous corporate headquarters, located at 3900 N. US 421 Hwy, was flooded during two hurricanes that struck our area, hurricane Matthew in 2016 and hurricane Florence in 2018. Since then, STAR has not had a centralized headquarters facility”, said Donna Bullard, CEO at STAR. “We are thankful to be able to embark on this momentous journey, where we celebrate progress and look forward to the positive impact this building will have on our community,”
Bullard said. Together, we will build a brighter future!
