Genesee County, MI (Flint) has some surprisingly nice advantages for expanding companies, including: “rock bottom” real estate prices, much lower than published wages in a two-tier system, vastly improving labor/management relations and outstanding educational/cultural amentities. Check it out! Deane

I have been asked by the Genesee Regional Chamber to visit and offer some perspective on business attraction from our site selection viewpoint. I look forward to assisting one of the most challenged economies in the nation…challenge leads to opportunity!

The City of Moraine, OH project that we worked with Angelou Economics on is now complete…a smart blue print to help jump start their economy and get some of the 3000 laid off GM workers back to work. Check out the report link here; the report is located on our web site under Projects. The plan carefully assesses the current market; outlines realistic opportunities for the closed GM plant; suggests target industries that will work, including renewable energy companies; and outlines a realistic action plan and timeline. We are confident that as the City follows this plan that new economic development opportunities will follow! Good Luck, Moraine! Deane

Looking forward to kicking off our target industry and direct marketing project with the EDC of Wayne County, IN next week! We will also be rolling out the final ED plan for the City of Moraine (OH) with our partner Angelou Economics. Busy week upcoming!

FCG is excited about kicking of our latest consulting project for the EDC of Wayne County, Indiana. Work will include a target industry analysis, prospect research and targeted prospect appointment setting. We will be conducting fieldwork the week of January 18th in Richmond and look forward to working with Tim Rogers and his staff!
