Andy Price

American Safety Utility Corporation

Andy Price, owner of American Safety Utility Corporation, is bringing power, purpose and preservation to Leesburg. His company, founded in 1982, supplies electric utilities with the tools and testing they need to work safely. 

With 60+ employees at his North Carolina headquarters, Andy recently opened a second location on Highway 44, featuring a high-voltage test lab and full tool outfitting services—with plans to grow big in Florida.

But his biggest impact? Lineman Ranch.

Formerly the Paquette Tractor Museum, the site is being transformed into the new home—relocated from North Carolina—of the International Lineman Museum, Hall of Fame and Fallen Lineman Memorial, honoring those who built America’s electrical grid. “This is the greatest story never told,” Andy says. “It will be something truly special for the community.”

Artifacts date to 1865. Florida’s J.D. Thompson—of the Pulitzer-winning Kiss of Life photo—is among those honored in what will become the nation’s largest lineman destination.

He’s also launched The Venue at Lineman Ranch, a picturesque new space for weddings, parties, festivals and other celebrations. 

“We’re bringing jobs, history and new experiences to Leesburg,” Andy says.
