Success Stories
CASE STUDY
Driving Growth Through Strategic Partnerships
We partnered with a public-private coalition to develop a strategic plan aimed at increasing tourism and improving talent retention in one of the state’s most prosperous cities. As part of the engagement, we reviewed state and local policies to identify funding and collaboration opportunities that could accelerate the initiative. In just six weeks, we helped the team submit two funding proposals that resulted in nearly $1.5 million in investment, laying the groundwork for long-term economic growth.
