McGuireWoods Consulting’s infrastructure and economic development team has a proven track record of working on complex site selection projects across the U.S. Our firm exists at the intersection of economic development and public policy, so we take a holistic approach to site selection that examines real estate, workforce, tax, and regulatory issues to assist with choosing the right site. As part of that work we have secured millions of dollars in economic incentives and have worked in partnership with state and local governments to develop needed infrastructure projects. Our innovative approach includes work to implement public-private partnership laws across the country and to create new policies and incentives tailored the needs of our clients.
WHAT WE DO
From understanding complex government regulations and policy issues to ensuring favorable public sentiment, our team possesses the experience and strong relationships to get the job done. We work with key decision-makers on a daily basis to help our clients integrate into local communities as partners, not adversaries. With the proper guidance and due diligence, McGuireWoods Consulting can help navigate your company through the complex governmental approval processes, saving you time and money while ultimately contributing to your bottom line.
