Duke Energy is awarding 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. To qualify for program consideration, each applicant submitted a plan that would have a direct impact on their community’s economic growth. This year, five-thousand-dollar grants were awarded to the Daviess County Economic Development Corporation, Knox County Economic Development, and Martin County Alliance for Economic Growth. Congratulations to our local communities.
