Economic Development & Downtowns
Renewed excitement in urban environments has created
many opportunities for development/redevelopment of neighborhoods,
corridors, and downtown areas. Unaware of the economic
benefits or unwilling to wade through zoning challenges,
developers often miss potentially lucrative development
opportunities.
Likewise, the snail’s pace of progress
and their inability to effect change has frustrated local
officials. LSL has helped bridge this gap between community
need and developer response.
LSL’s economic team can assist by identifying potential
projects and marketing them to prospective developers;
establishing a DDA, BRA or TIFA to capture new tax revenue;
and packaging the financing necessary to make projects
viable. LSL can also assist developers with land planning
and zoning expertise for the redevelopment of challenging
sites and buildings.
Typical economic development services
for public and private sector clients offered by LSL
include:
- Land planning and site design for specific sites, downtowns,
corridors, and neighborhoods
- Development of DDA, TIFA,
and Brownfield Plans
- Project implementation such as
developer recruitment, RFP’s,
site packaging, grant writing, and program administration
- Structuring
projects using available incentive tools such as
tax credits and tax increment financing
- Project
planning and development for developers including site
search, due diligence, land planning,
and zoning
analysis
- Facilitation of local approvals for developers
including coordination, application preparation,
