Municipal Grants The City of Three Rivers has previously pursued economic development funding, including a $100K grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in 2019. This indicates openness to grant-funded programs and partnerships that could support infrastructure, tourism, or technology modernization projects.
Digital Modernization Current tech stack includes Microsoft 365, Google Analytics, Gravity Forms and other web tools, suggesting ongoing digital operations. Opportunities exist to expand to advanced municipal IT solutions, data analytics, cybersecurity, and citizen engagement platforms to improve service delivery.
Public Safety & Utilities Recent watermain break incident signals potential needs in utilities infrastructure monitoring, water system resilience, and emergency management communications. Potential sales avenues include SCADA or IoT water system monitoring, alerting, and maintenance SaaS solutions.
Leadership Transitions Past leadership changes in finance and administration (e.g., 2023 director departure) may drive a push for streamlined financial systems, ERP-like functionality, and vendor stability. This could translate into opportunities for financial software, ERP integration, and vendor management services.
Community Services Active emphasis on parks, rivers, lakes, and cultural diversity indicates a focus on community services and tourism. This presents cross-sell opportunities for smart city offerings, digital signage, tourism analytics, and resident engagement platforms to support local initiatives.
