Issue-specific Assistance


Often commercial districts need help with a single problem or issue. In those instances, a tightly focused, specialized consulting team is extremely useful to help the district resolve the issue. We have developed issue-specific consulting teams to address a variety of commercial district revitalization issues as well as advise. 



Issue Specific Consulting Teams

We first work with the community to discuss the specific issue and identify objectives for the consulting team to accomplish. Based on those conversations and size of project, Either one consultant works on program or we develop a team of experienced consultants that can address the particular issue. The team (or one) spends time on-site to examine local circumstances and to develop a set of recommendations that address the specific issue(s) identified. Consulting visits are often of short duration, generally one to three days, but longer or repeat visits may be appropriate depending on the complexity of the issue(s) to be addressed. The findings of the consulting team are typically delivered during a verbal presentation and documented in a follow-up written report or materials.

A sampling of Issue-specific Consultation topics includes the following:
