A Thank You to Duke Energy
OCEDP was fortunate to receive a grant from Duke Energy to assist in our marketing efforts for the Orange County Workforce Housing Development.
Duke Energy has selected four economic development
organizations in southern Indiana for inclusion in its 2025 Partnership Program, which
funds marketing and strategic efforts to attract new jobs and investment to Indiana.
“This program gives our local economic development partners the tools they need to
showcase the strengths of their communities – both at home and on the national stage,”
said Erin Schneider, managing director of economic development at Duke Energy. “It’s
just one of the many ways we’re helping influence growth in the state to build
competitive, thriving communities.”
Partnership Program grant funds can be used to support a wide array of marketing
initiatives, including trade show attendance, website redesign, promotional materials,
and presentations or tours to introduce prospective companies and site selectors to a
community.
To qualify for program consideration, each applicant submitted a plan that would have a
direct impact on their community’s economic growth. Grant amounts varied depending
on the size and scope of the project.
