01: Connecting Local Systems
Henry County, Georgia
Bringing local business connections into one place
In Henry County, the need was more direct. Local talent and employers needed a better way to find one another, but the information connecting them was scattered across too many places.
PIN Interns, Gracian Williams and Subramanya Hariprasad, worked with the Henry County Chamber of Commerce to develop HenryHub.work, a digital workspace that brings business resources together. Its “Gig Connector” helps local contractors share qualifications while giving employers a clearer way to find and evaluate local talent.
The interns also built the foundation for a quarterly Business Confidence Index, with a survey tool and Power BI dashboard prototype designed to track business confidence, hiring expectations, investment sentiment, and sales activity.
