Economic Development Planning Services
We Are Economic Developers
Future-focused communities turn to the Montrose Group for economic development planning services and advisory services. Montrose Group works with economic development groups, state and local governments, universities, hospitals, and private-sector companies to draft economic development plans that attract high-wage jobs.
Contact Ryan Scribner with any economic development planning questions.
We use a data-driven economic development planning model:
Step 1: Research
We get to know a community or site by researching their economics, demographics, cost of doing business, labor, industry cluster, and market assets.
Step 2: Listening
Next, we listen to what a community or site wants to become through town hall and private briefings, and community surveys.
Step 3: Action Steps
Finally, we develop specific action steps around land use, workforce, infrastructure, tax, and quality of life initiatives that can transform a community from what they are to what they want to become.
