O f all our
specialties here at the Douglas Communications Group,
economic development
is the one that most draws on our ability to help our clients build
consensus among diverse and sometimes divisive groups.
If you’re a real estate
developer with an innovative project, you face multiple challenges. You
need to assemble land, obtain short- and long-term financing, gain local
approval, and find tenants -- often simultaneously! We can help with the
latter two tasks. We understand the timetables, processes and vocabularies
of community and neighborhood groups and elected bodies, and we create
compelling public relations campaigns.
Perhaps you’re a nonprofit
community development organization, consumed by acquiring properties,
attracting conscientious developers and serving the people who will move
into those developments or the businesses that will set up shop there. We
can help you tell the story of your success.
Most large cities, county
governments, state agencies and major economic development organizations
have public relations departments, but what do you do in a crunch? We
speak the language and know the players, and can quickly gear up to
supplement your staff on special projects, major events and grants that need
a quick turnaround.
