Opportunity Zones
Our new Opportunity Zone solution is built for real estate developers and city agencies who want to ensure that their projects result in equitable outcomes. We have developed a methodology and software for each step of the engagement process: baseline surveying, delivering information, collecting insights, facilitating dialogue, mapping data, prioritizing opportunities, sharing resources, presenting scenarios and plan drafts, visualizing data, and reporting. Our Opportunity Zone solution has been shaped by our experience working with over 200 government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Success Stories
“Public engagement can help offset the risks associated with development in that it provides more information for better decision making, builds a coalition of individuals in support of the project, and prepares a development team to answer to public inquiry.”

We have a very capable community that has lots of talent and resources, and we want to draw on that. This approach helps us be better at what we’re doing.”
