Service Areas

Area Plans - Plans that are focused on a specific geographic area, such as a corridor, a downtown, or a district. Examples include the Martin County Innovation Hub, the Doral Adaptive Reuse Area, and Bradenton’s 9^th Avenue. Area plans should generally follow the full Project Management Process.

Program Plans - Plans for specific types of program, or discipline activities, such as CRA Plans, BID Plans, and Economic Development Plans. Examples include the Omni CRA plan update, the South Miami Business Improvement District Plan, and the Pembroke Park Economic Development Plan. Program plans should generally follow the full Project Management Process.

Implementation - Implementation are assignments in which we generally function as an extension of staff, or performing on-call services for clients under a retainer agreement. Examples include Dade City Finance Director Services, North Miami Redevelopment Services, and Homestead Economic Development. Implementation will only partly follow the Project Management Process, as some of the elements of it are optional and may not be required.

Private Investment - These are assignments where the client is a private entity that needs assistance securing incentives or entitlements from a governmental agency. This would include projects such as incentive applications, TIF projections, and economic impact analysis. Examples include the Overtown East and West Economic Impact Analysis, the International Swimming Hall of Fame Impact Analysis, and the Sunbeam Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis. These assignments will rarely follow the Project Management Process, other than proofreading and client sign-off.

Analytics - Analytics are just that, analysis assignments. These are any projects that are focused on providing analysis of some sort, and presenting our findings (and sometimes recommendations). This can include strategic finance plans, market analysis, and economic base studies. Examples include the Pinecrest Market Analysis, the TIF projections and finance plan for the North Miami CRA, and the Bradenton Economic Base report.

Assessments - Assessments are similar to analytics, but with a broader view. Assessments may include analytics, but also includes the evaluation of qualitative conditions, not just data. These projects take into account things like quality of life, aesthetics and community connections to develop recommendations for client success. Examples include the Covington Central Riverfront District and the City of Arcadia Community Assessment.
