“Place + Main Advisors has assisted a number of communities participating in the Redevelopment Ready Communities Program at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. He has also supported communities that were selected for Project Rising Tide, an initiative of the Governor Snyder administration, focused on supporting distressed communities in building a strong planning and economic development foundation. Communities participating in RRC have been drawn to select Place + Main to provide services focused on economic development and he has delivered strategies tailored to each community time and time again. The economic development strategies are heavily focused on implementation, which is a cornerstone for Redevelopment Ready Communities. The strong focus on implementation allows communities to quickly begin to accomplish tasks and prevents plans from sitting on a shelf. Joe also empowers communities to leverage local partnerships and recognizes that success cannot be achieved without collaboration.”
