Some of BRPC’s Past Projects

 

BRPC Receives 2019 NADO Impact Award

Boonslick Regional Planning Commission is a recipient of a 2019 National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) Impact Award.  The Impact Awards program honors NADO members for their creative approaches to advancing community and economic development and improved quality of life initiatives.  BRPC received the Impact Award for its role in the establishment of workforce development projects at Tight 360 Tool and Machine, LLC to address needs in the Boonslick region.

BRPC brought in the Northeast Missouri Workforce Development Board and representatives from the U.S. Department of Labor to work with Tight 360 to establish a certified apprenticeship program.  Newly-hired employees can learn about advanced manufacturing and receive skills training; and those who are eligible can participate in an On-the-Job Training program through the Job Center, with up to 50% of these employees’ wages being reimbursed to the employer.  This is an excellent opportunity for local job seekers to learn valuable skills while earning a paycheck.  BRPC also assisted Tight 360 with a loan through its Revolving Loan Fund.

 

BRPC Receives 2018 Innovation Award from NADO

Each year, the National Association of Development Organizations recognizes projects in which members have shown creative approaches to advancing regional community and economic development and improved quality of life.  These projects have made significant impacts on regions and demonstrate the diversity of services and program delivery provided by regional development organizations across the country.  BRPC received the 2018 Innovation Award for the City of Jonesburg Economic Development project which brought CertainTeed Corporation to the area.  The project demonstrated collaboration at its best.  Summary of CertainTeed Project.
