Economic Development Strategies & Solutions

must be negotiated in an ethical manner that assures both parties benefit. Economic Development Strategies & Solutions can help you navigate the wide variety of incentives that may be available from multiple jurisdictions. We will assist your company with acquiring all of the financial incentives available without leaving untapped resources on the table.  Negotiating incentives is both an art and a science. Like any science, it draws upon logic and a wealth of knowledge including specific financial characteristics of a community including revenues, expenditures, tax structure, land values, average salaries, and capital expenditures from the proposed project. It is important to understand both the benefits and costs associated with new or expanding businesses in the community. This strategic information can help in the decision making process as well as in the negotiation of incentives for recruiting or retaining businesses.

 

Communities and companies can achieve maximum benefit with incentives if all parties involved realize a benefit. Because because it is so difficult to maintain this sense of cooperation and mutual interest while securing the best outcome for the client, it is crucial that negotiators have the kind of experience offered by Economic Development Strategies & Solutions.
