Paducah Area Community Reuse Organization (PACRO)

Who we are:  The Paducah-Area Community Reuse Organization (PACRO) was formed in August of 1997 by regional community representatives from western Kentucky and southern Illinois in an effort to mitigate potential downsizing and restructuring of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) workforce as a result of the end of the Cold War and changing Department of Energy (DOE) priorities. 

 

Membership of the PACRO is designed to represent the counties in which the majority of the PGDP workforce lives.  The PACRO impact area includes McCracken, Ballard, Graves and Marshall Counties in western Kentucky and Massac County in southern Illinois.

 

What we do: PACRO commissioned a study to develop and utilize programs and resources to maintain the region’s economic climate.
