Economic Development

We employ data-driven approaches to economic development initiatives, delivering place-based solutions that are uniquely tailored to the needs of specific communities.

Empowering Transformation

With a proven track record of delivering tangible economic impact, our team specializes in driving sustainable growth through practical, results-oriented strategies tailored to the unique needs of our client communities.

​

Our leadership successfully brokered the multi-million dollar West Oak Lane Charter School real estate development, transforming the West Oak Lane neighborhood in Philadelphia.  In New Orleans, we secured $13 million from public and private sources—more than quadrupling taxpayer contributions of $3 million—to support the city's Economic Development Organization (EDO) over two years, including $2 million in EDA and state grants.  Our leadership helped drive a local EDO to national recognition, earning 11 IEDC awards in three years while maintaining unmodified audit opinions year after year.

 

With over 50 years of combined expertise in finance, entrepreneurship, business operations, and economic development, we understand that every community has unique strengths and challenges.  We collaborate with clients to refine strategic plans, incorporate data-driven insights, and execute initiatives that align public and private stakeholders to produce measurable results.
