Economic Development
Beyond Your Current Tax Base
Balancing your budget without increasing taxes or cutting services….
Economic vitality increases municipal tax revenues through increased Real Estate Transfer Taxes, Earned Income Taxes, Local Service Taxes all the while revitalizing your downtown and repurposing blighted buildings.
Increasing tax ratables through strategic economic development leads to new revenue streams that can be reinvested back into the community.
Orchestrating this cycle of prosperity takes visioning, imagination, and planning.
