The state went that way. They use a lot of "maypoles". The utility sets a transformer on a pole in the middle of a property with a CT can for metering and they send out service laterals or overhead drops to several buildings from there. They did it for park buildings and residences in corrections personel housing complexes that got DOC provided power. We had that a lot for campsite services too. That let the utility do the heavy lifting of spanning wide areas at medium voltage so we could keep the feeders to the sites fairly short.
