Boettcher Foundation has announced awardees for the 2023 fall cycle of their Rural Catalyst program. PCED is honored to be among the awardees to launch a new county website with a focus on economic and community development. PCED's recognition as one of the awardees in the Boettcher Foundation's Rural Catalyst program marks a significant achievement in the pursuit of economic and community development in Phillips County. The decision to launch a new county website, with an emphasis on simplicity and user-friendliness, demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to engaging current residents, attracting potential newcomers, and supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs.

The commitment to rebranding and reintroducing PCED through the website aligns with modern communication trends, recognizing the importance of a digital platform as a central hub for information. The decision to start from scratch rather than merely updating past websites reflects a dedication to conveying the right messaging in an engaging and approachable manner.

Partnering with Designs By Fergie for the website launch indicates a commitment to professional and visually appealing execution. The attention to detail, from the color scheme to the imagery, reflects a thoughtful approach to creating an inviting and informative online presence.

PCED's strategic and comprehensive approach, supported by the Boettcher Foundation, positions the organization as a catalyst for positive change in Phillips County. The anticipated completion and launch of the website in Spring 2024 marks an exciting milestone in the ongoing efforts to enhance economic and community development in the region.
