The topic of Economic Development is on the mind of all local governments, chambers of commerce and economic development organizations as they strive to provide jobs for the citizens of their community and keep or increase their tax base.

Larry Kinlaw & Associates is committed to assisting these organizations, especially in rural areas, develop a realistic Economic Development Plan that reflects the geographic location and future expectations of the community. Not every community can expect to have a Nissan plant or a four lane highway in their community, but every community does have something to offer in the area of economic development. The challenge is to identify your possibilities and be realistic, develop a Plan and pursue it.

Larry Kinlaw & Associates will work with your Site Selection Firm or help you identify one that will best represent your area. We will work with your local organization to help identify the types of business that would be best suited for your area. We will also help you develop a Plan that can guide you in your Economic Development efforts.

Everybody wants to find new businesses or industry, but our approach is to first develop a Plan to “KEEP WHAT YOU HAVE”. Secondly, it is important to inventory your community or area and determine how you can, “GROW YOUR OWN”.

It is also important to understand the various incentives that may be available to assist you in your Economic Development efforts.
