We provide best practice advice to public and private leaders seeking to address pressing civic issues and develop strategies to promote growth, access and inclusion in urban areas.

Our services include:

  • Development of strategies to promote economic growth, entrepreneurship, community revitalization and economic inclusion
  • Product development and marketing assistance to private companies targeting civic markets in housing, real estate, transportation, and finance 
  • Facilitation of public private partnerships for real estate, infrastructure and technology
  • Transaction assistance for catalytic site development and business expansion

Six-plus years later, after we’ve added more than 50,000 new jobs, become nationally recognized as an entrepreneurial hub, slashed unemployment, and attracted more than $1 billion in private investment, I believe [Portland’s] plan worked, and Mr. Quinton deserves much of the credit.
