ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Economic Development From Opportunity to Execution.

A site can be excellent. A company can be ready to invest. A community can want the project. None of that guarantees the project moves.

Fideo helps clients navigate that intersection.

Economic development requires coordination among businesses, developers, state and local government, utilities, infrastructure providers, economic development organizations and community stakeholders.

CAPABILITIES

What We Do on a Project

Project Strategy

We help evaluate the governmental, political, infrastructure and stakeholder considerations that can determine whether a project is viable and what must happen to move it forward.

Government Engagement

We coordinate with state and local officials and economic development organizations to make sure project needs, timelines and decision points are understood.

Incentive Strategy

We help clients understand and pursue state and local incentive opportunities and coordinate the governmental process surrounding them.

Where specialized tax, legal, accounting or technical expertise is required, we work alongside the client's professional advisers.

Infrastructure & Utilities

Power, water, wastewater, natural gas, transportation and telecommunications can determine the viability of a project as quickly as the site itself.

We help bring relevant utilities, providers and public entities into the process early and connect those workstreams to the broader project strategy.

Community & Stakeholder Strategy

Major projects can involve elected officials, local boards, landowners, community leaders and other stakeholders.

Fideo helps clients understand those interests, build support and identify potential obstacles before they threaten the project.

Public-Private Coordination

Economic development often occurs between the public and private sectors.

Our role is to help the participants understand what each side needs, identify decisions slowing the project, and develop a path toward execution.

Economic Development Is a Process, Not an Incentive Package.

The strongest projects coordinate site, infrastructure, government, incentives, capital, community and schedule at the same time.
