Duke Energy Awards Marketing Grant to ECIRP

Duke Energy has awarded more than $125,000 in grants to 26 local and regional economic development organizations to spur new jobs and investment in Indiana communities. The grants are through Duke Energy’s Partnership Program, which funds marketing and strategic efforts to grow cities and towns. The East Central Indiana Regional Partnership received a $5,000 marketing grant that will be used to upgrade the site selection property tool on the organization’s website. ECIRP has partnered with GIS WebTech to modernize the website’s property data and provide an easier, more user-friendly experience for consultants. GIS WebTech will allow users to navigate a simple tool when evaluating sites, empower them to utilize robust data tools to review relevant site search parameters, and lead to more interest in the region.
