About
Placemaking
Our current focus is to create, develop, and implement public-private partnerships for sustainable placemaking. An economic cycle from new public and private investments increases public revenues. Through placemaking, collaboration, and new supportive infrastructure, there is potential to deliver economically self-sustainable community benefits. New resources available from investments and self-sustaining community benefits provide new capacity that can be reinvested back into a community. Leveraging early investments for other communities begins to create a model to accelerate climate-resilient and sustainable communities through placemaking.
Revenues
New public and private investments
Revenue-producing economic development and infrastructure projects
Small business, jobs, and new opportunities.
New Capacity
Coordinated efforts for new investments begin the process for new revenues. Economic development projects leverage public resources that also start the process of new revenues and include public benefits. New models for community benefits begin a process to reduce expenses and accelerate funding for new programs. Combined these begin to increase our capacity for reinvesting into our communities.
Benefits
New programs that deliver economically sustainable community benefits.
Supportive infrastructure that reduces expenses.
Impact metrics to optimize growth acceleration.
Funding
Collaborate to optimize funding impacts
Centralize resources available for communities
Development plans for implementation and long-term management
Step #1
Identify Opportunities: Work with government, community, and other professional leaders who see an opportunity or need for new investments within a community and want to collaborate to identify ways to leverage them to optimize their potential benefits through placemaking.
Step #2
Develop Strategies: Work with local agencies to develop and create a new public-private partnership. As part of the partnership, develop and execute a comprehensive placemaking strategy for funding, community benefits, infrastructure, economic development, and real estate development programs.
Step #3
Implementation: Upon completing the placemaking strategy, oversee and manage the delivery of the plan. Delivery would include the execution of investment projects, oversight of partnerships, sustainable community benefits, metric reporting, and future operations of the districts.
