Economic Development, Site Selection, Incentive Negotiation, Owner's Rep. | C/I Realtor | Founder All Day Coach
When it comes to economic development, it's imperative you focus on your EXISTING businesses FIRST. What do they need to grow? How can you best support them? Too often, I see folks focusing on the attraction piece, and not spending your end of time on the business owners that have invested for years already in their community. It's no different than offering that new internet customer a crazy awesome deal while ignoring your current customers. Reach out to your current businesses and do everything you can to help them GROW!
With nearly 20 years of #econdev experience, we have the knowledge to help businesses, nonprofit #econdevelopment organizations, and units of government. We're effective because we understand how to bring projects to fruition to benefit all parties involved. This is a throwback testimonial from Michael Darger from the U of MN Extension office when we worked on a Business Retention and Expansion Program that received national and international accolades! #BRE
