Economic Development
There was a time when economic development agencies could focus primarily on securing sites, preparing business parks and marketing to a handful of large industrial employers with a toolkit of tax incentives. Those days are clearly gone, replaced by a world in which retention of existing businesses, incubation of new innovation enterprises, outreach to foreign investors, revitalization of downtowns and enhancement of both education and workforce development are all part of the economic developer's menu of responsibilities -- along with industrial recruitment and site development. Wendt Partners is a pioneer in practicing an integrated economic development leadership model that drives performance, expands impact and strengthens stakeholder support.
