Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership, LLC. (FRNP), comprising of three strong DOE contractors—Jacobs, BWXT, and Fluor—was formed to meet the unique challenges of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) Deactivation and Remediation (D&R) project. Led by Jacobs, FRNP brings new leadership while leveraging lessons learned, site history, and detailed knowledge to deliver cost-effective technical solutions.
DOE executes some of the largest and most complex projects in the country. While these projects are contained within the fences of the government-owned site, the surrounding community plays a major part and key to success. FRNP not only ensures safe execution of the Paducah Deactivation and Remediation scope of work at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, but also wants to engage with the community and be a good corporate citizen of the region. Historically, the city of Paducah, its diversity, and its economy have been driven by two major influences: The Department of Energy Site and the four navigable rivers that converge in the region. With that spirit in mind, we thought hard about our name and chose “Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership.” We believe that the name is fitting and we look forward to the beginning of a long relationship with DOE at Paducah and with the larger community.
FRNP partners with community leaders to invest corporate dollars in such a way that it improves educational outreach programs, regional purchasing, and community support. Our presence in the community will be supportive and impactful as we continue to build on the relationships already established.
FRNP brings a team that has strong ties with and is currently making both financial and resource investments in the local community. As a result, we are no stranger to the Paducah community; we are very familiar with the local community and its needs. Recent engagement by FRNP teaming member with the Paducah Economic Development (PED) resulted in the sponsorship of “Forward Paducah,” which was designed to help economic development agencies take a holistic, modern approach to economic development. This initiative helped the local community establish an economic vision for the Greater Paducah area and identify six strategic goals to move the community toward the vision. While the vision and goals have been established and communicated, the local community is in the midst of executing it.
Realizing this initiative is important to the local communities, our approach integrates our Plan with the Forward Paducah initiative by taking an active role in each one of the strategic goals to help facilitate the vision for region. Our leadership team, including our corporate Board of Directors, will be active members in the community and will support community functions, including but not limited to partnering with the local Chambers of Commerce and the Citizen’s Advisory Board. To support these goals, FRNP will commit 2% of our earned fee over the duration of the contract and 500 volunteer hours annually from our leadership team. Since our team has already served in the community, we know the mission expected by DOE and the local community. We are committed to being a good corporate citizen, not because we have to but because we believe it is the right thing to do.
Sensory Solutions
In January of 2017, Sensory Solutions opened in the state of Kentucky. I am often asked how that came about, so I would like to explain.
In 2001 I hired Monica Burrows, SLP as a new graduate. She worked in St Louis for 8+ years but always dreamed of moving to New York, so she did just that. After having children, she moved to her hometown of Paducah, KY. Within a brief period, she realized that there was no facility providing quality care to the children in the area. Many children were falling through the cracks, and pediatric therapy services were minimal. It was at that time that discussions began about opening Sensory Solutions in Kentucky. Monica believed in the philosophy of the company and wanted to provide therapy services in her hometown. In 2017 our first location in Paducah opened, and within a short time, we treated over 80 patients per day. In 2019 we opened Murray, KY.
Sensory Solutions-KY, LLC provides quality pediatric therapy to the children in the area, which wasn’t available to this extent.
The services provided in Kentucky include Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy.

FNB Bank
Established in 1875 and we're still on the frontier.
In 2017, 2020 and 2023, FNB Bank was awarded an “Outstanding” rating, the highest rating possible, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for our commitment to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). By awarding this rating, the FDIC acknowledged that FNB is continuing to meet the needs of the communities we serve and operate in, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and are consistent with safe and sound banking operations.
“We are honored to receive the Outstanding CRA rating again from the FDIC. It is a great accomplishment to have the continued efforts of our staff recognized by this distinction that very few banks achieve,” said Brooke Wiles, FNB’s Marketing Director and CRA Officer. “The rating recognizes FNB’s ongoing commitment to meeting the credit and development needs of all people in the communities we serve.”
