Modern Features Improve Accessibility, Support Economic Growth, and Reinforce the Cooperative’s Role as a Community Partner

BUTLER, MO – Osage Valley Electric Cooperative is excited to announce the launch of its new website, https://www.osagevalley.com, developed in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency. The exciting platform reflects the cooperative’s ongoing commitment to innovation, transparency, and economic development in the communities it serves across west-central Missouri.

“Our goal was to provide our members with a modern site that is easy to use, and aligned with our evolving role to not only be a reliable electric provider, but a driver of community and economic growth,” said Jana Rosier, Director of Member Services at Osage Valley Electric Cooperative.

The updated website features:

• A modern, user-friendly design with ease of navigation across all devices
• Enhanced accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO) to meet today’s digital standards
• A dedicated economic development section that promotes site availability and attracts business opportunities
• Clear pathways for members to access account services, cooperative news, and community resources

"Just two weeks after launching the site, we received a lead on a property listed on the new website," added Rosier. “That kind of immediate result shows how effective the new platform can be as a tool for business attraction and regional promotion.”

The redesigned website is part of a broader strategy to position Osage Valley Electric Cooperative as a trusted community partner. In addition to delivering safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to its members, the cooperative is actively involved in efforts to strengthen the local economy and support long-term regional growth.

“We’re a member-owned cooperative, and that means everything we do, from improving service delivery to promoting local investment, is focused on the well-being of our communities,” Rosier said.

The project was completed in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency, a national leader in economic development marketing.

“We had an excellent experience with Golden Shovel,” said Rosier. “When we did encounter an issue, our launch manager went above and beyond to find a solution that worked for us.”
