One East Kentucky Adds 3D Facility Tours to Their Library of Virtual Marketing Assets

    PAINTSVILLE, KY, April 20, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- One East Kentucky is giving three available buildings a promotional kick with 3D tours produced by Golden Shovel Agency's PlaceVR Division with Matterport technology.

The virtual tours make it possible for potential buyers to guide themselves through facilities that range in size from 35,000 to 80,000 square feet. By offering the tours, One East Kentucky is increasing their chance of getting on site selectors' short lists by giving them a way to answer their own questions while offering a memorable experience.

"It's hard to know how suitable a building might be until you walk through it," said Chuck Sexton, President and CEO of One East Kentucky. "These 3D facility scans open up the doors to anyone who wants to have a look, no travel or appointment necessary."

The 3D scans are part of a library of Virtual Reality assets that One East Kentucky has created in collaboration with Golden Shovel Agency. The organization's investment has positioned them to make forward progress despite lingering travel restrictions and concerns.

"One East Kentucky is a great example of what our goals are as an economic development tech company," said Aaron Brossoit, CEO of Golden Shovel Agency. "By offering different types of technology, we can bring solutions to economic developers that help them overcome the challenges of distance, time and cost, with or without a pandemic."

One East Kentucky is collaborating with Golden Shovel Agency to create a series of six videos and 3D building renderings that will market available land in industrial park sites and existing buildings that are for sale.
