Economic development for Public Sector

Economic development for public sector

Economic development is about creating a thriving community that people love to live, work, and play in


Our economic development teams can help you with the “thriving” part.

Attracting new residents and businesses, strengthening your economic base, and improving opportunities for everyone in your community — these are the ways you bring a community to life. Crowe has the experience and technical expertise to help you make it happen.

Attract new businesses — and keep the ones you already have 

The competition among communities trying to attract and retain businesses can be intense.

Crowe understands the financial complexities of economic development.

Imagine being the community where all businesses want to plant their roots.

We look at things through the eyes of business leaders.

We can help you assess what’s possible financially, and then build a plan to keep you competitive.

Demonstrate real results 

Your list of new-business concerns is probably long. Public education, workforce housing, training programs, financing, and tax policies — just to name a few.

Imagine a booming community where everyone wants to live and work.

No matter what issues you need to address, Crowe can help.

We’ll work collaboratively to develop an effective strategy and spell out clear and practical goals.

Your community will see the results of your efforts.

Get the money you need

Attracting and retaining new businesses requires money.

Financing your community needs is something we can help you with.

Imagine having the money you need to meet your short-term and long-term goals.

Our registered municipal advisors can help you borrow money to support your economic development plans.

Get a handle on tomorrow’s technology

These days, technology and business development go hand in hand. That’s why a solid technological infrastructure helps attract today’s businesses.

Imagine having advanced technology solutions to manage your business recruitment efforts.

Crowe has helped many local and state economic development organizations develop and implement new technology so they can compete in today’s marketplace.
