Downtown Revitalization Building #1 Revitalizing Downtown Downtown Revitalization Building #2 A Classy Downtown Downtown Revitalization Building #3 Downtown

Have you ever stepped back and truly looked at your entire redevelopment program (formal or informal)?  Our team will step into your community with a fresh set of eyes and no agenda.  We’ll examine a wide array of tangible and intangible components in your community that will guide us to developing solid recommendations that will assist you in the next steps of your revitalization efforts.

Are your revitalization efforts stuck or stalled?

Are there past planning efforts on the shelf that haven’t been implemented?

How can you make revitalization happen in this economy?

Do you know what the next step is?

The goal of the assessment is to develop an informed, current understanding of the gaps or needs that exist in the community, and then provide a simple plan to help your community become competitive in today’s market.

Get fresh perspectives from five seasoned professionals – on the street and in your community – for an intensive assessment evaluation.  No lengthy drawn-out timeframe!  We offer an affordable on-site assessment approach that begins with a review of information relevant to your situation, followed by two full days in your community.  The first day will include an intensive investigation.  The second day will involve a team work session focused on recommendations and solutions.  In less than a week we complete our reconnaissance and provide you with a succinct report  of steps you can implement immediately.

Our team represents a broad range of disciplines: economic development, market analysis, real estate development, redevelopment, community planning, urban design, business and retail design and public policy.  We will bring you fresh ideas to kick-start a project or simply re-energize an effort that is already underway.

Affordable assessments start at $5,000, but will be individually priced based on your community size and needs.

Contact us today for more information!

Indevelopment- Connecting Commercial Developers in the New North

7:00 am – 4:30 pm

 

INSIGHT – Business-to-Business Publication

3rd Annual InDevelopment Conference

February 3, 2012

7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m


The third annual InDevelopment Conference arrives at the Radisson Paper Valley in Appleton on Feb. 3.

The event will run from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and will feature keynote speaker Anton “Tony” Nelessen, one of the nation’s most respected urban visionaries. His work has been featured in Newsweek, Consumer Reports and many research studies.

With economic development on the forefront of business leaders’ minds, the event’s afternoon breakout sessions will highlight “The Ignite Fox Cities Report” delivered by Garner Economics, a visioning workshop with Nelessen and a presentation by Paul Jadin, CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.

I think the opportunity to work with individuals around the area is important,” says Karen Harkness, director of community development for the City of Appleton. “InDevelopment is an opportunity for new initiatives that are fresh and are important to the success of economic development, whether you are a Realtor® or a developer.”

The day-long event is designed to bring commercial real estate and economic development professionals together in an interactive setting to share information about ideas, trends and opportunities, says Tim Rinn of Ganther Construction and a member of the event’s steering committee.

It is important to be in the forefront of changes in the economy,” he says. “This is an opportunity to touch all the potential business clients in one day.”

The early bird fee is $55 if registered by Jan. 20 or $65 after Jan. 20.
