Regional Collaboration GRADD is a regional planning agency engaging multiple counties (Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union, Webster) with a mission to improve quality of life. This indicates opportunities for multi-county programs, grant coordination, and shared-service solutions that scale across districts.

Public Sector Growth With a revenue range of 10M to 25M and a focus on aging, health, social services, community and economic development, transportation, and workforce development, there is potential demand for software, analytics, and consulting services that streamline grant management, program delivery, and performance reporting.

Leadership Transitions Recent leadership changes including a new executive director and new director of finance suggest a window of influence for solutions that support governance, financial planning, procurement, and stakeholder engagement during transition periods.

Awards and Funding GRADD has earned national awards and secured grants (including a $200K grant to support youth programs). This signals openness to innovative partnerships, pilot programs, and technology deployments that demonstrate measurable impact and fundability.

Tourism and Economic Dev Recent collaboration with Visit Owensboro to develop tourism professionals points to opportunities in tourism analytics, workforce training platforms, and community development tools that align with GRADD’s economic development and talent pipeline goals.
