Develop Danville Unveils New Economic Development Website

DANVILLE, KY – Develop Danville is proud to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website, developdanville.com, created in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency. The new website provides a modern, data-driven platform that connects site selectors, business leaders, workforce talent, and visitors with the information they need to explore opportunities in Danville and Boyle County.

The enhanced website was developed with economic development in mind, offering a streamlined user experience and easy access to critical community and business information. Leveraging robust data tools like Zoom Prospector, the site delivers accurate and up-to-date demographic, workforce, industry, and site information to help answer questions quickly and support informed decision-making.

"Our new website is specifically designed to serve our target audiences and site selectors by putting valuable information at their fingertips," said Josh Gooch, Vice President of Economic Development for Develop Danville. “The platform is very data-heavy and allows users to quickly access the information they need when evaluating opportunities in our community.”

One of the website's standout features is its distinctive homepage design. The homepage prominently displays contact photos and information, creating an immediate personal connection for users.

"I really like the effectiveness of the homepage imagery and design," Gooch said. "Having our contact information and team members visible at the top of the homepage has been received tremendously well because interested parties immediately know who they are working with and how to reach us."

In addition to serving business decision-makers, the website was built to support workforce development, tourism, and community engagement efforts.

"The website is concise, user-friendly, and serves a variety of audiences, including tourists and career seekers," said Harold Nally, Senior Vice President of Workforce Development. "Danville is a welcoming, safe community that offers the advantages of small-town living while remaining close to larger metropolitan areas. The new website does an excellent job of showcasing those qualities."

Develop Danville partnered with Golden Shovel Agency, a leading economic development communications firm, to create the new website.

"Golden Shovel Agency has been a truly great partner throughout this process," Gooch said. "Their team has been highly responsive and brought the expertise needed to deliver a professionally designed, updated website that reflects our community and supports our economic development goals."

Visitors are encouraged to explore the new website and discover opportunities in Danville and Boyle County at developdanville.com.
