Duke Energy donates $250,000 to Tri-ED

Over the next five years, Duke Energy will donate $250,000 to Northern Kentucky Tri-ED to enhance existing business retention and expansion efforts in Kenton, Boone and Campbell counties. Duke will also grant $75,000 to the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD) in Pendleton, Grant and Gallatin counties. Tri-ED and NKADD will partner with local city and county economic development leaders, utilities and government officials to coordinate proactive visits with existing Northern Kentucky businesses to gather information to understand and recognize needs, challenges and barriers to growth. The data will be used to identify overarching needs in workforce training, utility reliability, facility needs, municipal services and quality of life.
