Public Safety Opportunity Valdese recently appointed a new Chief of Police, signaling potential modernization of public safety operations. Target offerings include CAD/RMS systems, body-worn cameras, evidence management, and training services to support the transition and ongoing operations.

IT Infrastructure Modernization The town relies on cloud and security technologies (AWS, Cloudflare, HTTP/3, HSTS). There is opportunity to provide comprehensive IT assessment, cloud optimization, secure hosting, disaster recovery, and managed cybersecurity services tailored to municipalities.

Parks Expansion The town secured 300 acres on Lake Rhodhiss for a park via Friends of Valdese Rec. This creates demand for park management software, reservations and event ticketing, digital signage, and citizen engagement tools to support park operations and programming.

Tourism Marketing Valdese positions itself as a nature-rich destination with historic attractions and annual events. Opportunities exist for tourism marketing, citizen engagement platforms, grant management, and GIS-enabled economic development data sharing.

Financial and Procurement Revenue range is $25M-$50M with 51-200 employees; mid-sized municipal profile. Potential for ERP/financial management, asset management, procurement optimization, and grant administration software to improve efficiency and transparency.
