Municipalities and regional economic development organizations around the state help identify the building blocks that shape long-term economic stability. We assist them, offering technical and financial assistance to help make the most of their unique community assets, retain successful hometown companies and create more jobs.

Economic Success Starts with Strategic Planning
Regional development organizations and individual communities can benefit from a plan for the future. We can help you make one.
Our collaborative process is designed to build consensus around mutually accepted goals, align planning tools and deliver an action plan to help you take the appropriate steps to shape your envisioned economic future both in terms of identifying job creation and building a diverse tax base.
