It is said that nearly 80% of economic development is derived from the retention and expansion of companies right in your backyard. Yet, many cities focus 80% of their efforts on attracting new companies to their area.

Our team works with small and rural cities to develop and execute Business Retention & Expansion strategies that survey and meet the needs of local industry and build relationships between local employers and their communities.

Through partnerships with land use professionals, we help cities analyze and address the workforce infrastructure needed by local employers, including housing, retail, and transportation.
