From attracting and recruiting businesses, to creating and nurturing new projects, Gary Ferguson has amassed a toolkit of best practices and tangible success. This expertise is now available to communities across the country.

Most district support programs deliver only a limited impact on the operations and performance of front facing retail, service and food & beverage businesses. And for an organization to provide objective critiques of specific businesses is awkward. That is where third party assessment assistance can be so valuable and impactful.

The heart of any commercial district organization is often the programs and services that are crafted to assist and serve the business community. How well do your programs and services meet this need?

Business recruitment is part science, part art, and part perspiration. We help downtown district programs craft and tailor business recruitment programs and strategies to meet their specific needs and aspirations.

If shaping your organization’s future is on your agenda, let us help you make that happen. At CRRC, we offer two pathways, two product lines that will get you to your goals: Strategic Planning support and technical assistance; and Program and Policy Audits and Alignment Analysis.

Beyond our economic and community products, we can offer custom tailored consulting services to fit your specific projects and needs. Call or email us to discuss options.
