Economic Development
So, you've got a Walmart.
Communities are varied as the human beings who comprise them. So there is no one-size fits all economic development plan. Really, there has to be a dialogue with the community to see where they want to be in ten, twenty, and thirty years. Are they looking for industry? Are they looking for commercial retail? What are the collective values the community shares?
Often times there is a small group of people invested in a community's forward progress, the problem is that this group of people, often times, do not reflect the values of the whole community. What ends up happening is collosal failure after collosal failure. An attempt to make a blue collar, industry-centric town into Disney World. An attempt to bring Boeing into the gated surburan hills of manicures and fiji water.
We help you become sensitive of what is really going to work in your community, then to find those partners in the residential, the commercial, the industrial (and even the tourism) market segments to find the most effective and efficient penetration producing maximized growth and minimized costs. And don't forget there are costs to economic development, social costs, physical land use costs, financial costs, and some intangibles you haven't even realized yet.
Let us help you see the big picture, trust us, it's worth it.
