Washington County's employers stretch across manufacturing floors, healthcare systems, and family farms, from The Fort Miller Group, Inc. and Saint-Gobain to Hudson Headwaters Health Network, Telescope Casual Furniture and beyond.
That range meant opportunity, but no single platform showed it clearly to the job seekers, students, and families looking for it. Washington County NY Economic Development brought BLKDOG in to expand the county's tourism site, connecting people to employers, not just attractions. Through storytelling, employer spotlights, career pathways, and training resources, the site shows what it means to live and work in the county, strengthening the workforce pipeline and local economy.
We're proud to share that this September, we'll be in Corning to accept a Tourism Excellence Award for this project from the New York State Tourism Industry Association, recognized for Excellence in Transformational Tourism Stewardship: Workforce Development.
