We are proud and honored to be recognized as one of the 2026 Kentucky Best Places to Work! 💙

This achievement reflects the incredible people who make up our team and the culture we’ve built together. We’re grateful to be part of a community that values its workforce and invests in its people!

Congratulations to the other outstanding organizations recognized for this well-deserved honor. 👏✨

Congratulations to the Owensboro businesses recognized on the 2026 Kentucky Best Places to Work list! 👏

This year, five local employers earned a spot on the statewide list:
Boardwalk Pipelines
EM Ford
Independence Bank
Matthew 25 AIDS Services
RiverValley Behavioral Health

Recognition like this goes far beyond a plaque on the wall. Strong workplaces strengthen the entire regional economy. When companies invest in their people, they attract and retain talent, support workforce stability, and help communities grow.

For Owensboro-Daviess County, having multiple employers on this list reinforces what many already know: this is a place where businesses value their teams and employees build lasting careers.

A special thanks to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky SHRM for their work on this meaningful recognition program!

Congratulations again to these organizations! Each is doing its part in .
