A Community that Works Together

Community is a powerful word and one that the Madisonville-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation takes very seriously. When all members of the community pull together for a united cause, the power of community becomes transformational—higher than just what any small group of the city or individuals can achieve. The Madisonville-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation is committed to serving as the catalyst for sustained economic growth and development in Hopkins County. And we are honored to work with the City of Madisonville, Hopkins County, and all of our partners to make our community stronger and more successful. 

Kentucky Work Ready Communities

A Kentucky Work Ready Community certification is a measure of a county's workforce quality. It is an assurance to the business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly-skilled workforce required in today's competitive global economy. Through this effort, Kentucky communities can assess their own workforce strengths and follow a process to become certified as Work Ready or Work Ready in Progress.
 
The Kentucky Work Ready Community program can transform community development. It encourages counties to take a credible inventory of the current and future workforce, identify the gaps, and carry out strategies to achieve a more knowledgeable, trained workforce with team communication skills.

Pro Business Philosophy

We're in the business of doing business. The Hopkins County region perfectly balances convenience and affordability with the advantages of a talented workforce, a central location, and a pro-business atmosphere. These assets combine to make an ideal home for progressive companies competing in a global economy.
