Economic Development Services
The fundamental building block for preparing economic development plans is a
thorough understanding of a community's demographic and economic
characteristics. WDI often works in rural and urban fringe areas where there is
insufficient data about local population and economic characteristics. This
means the economic base analysis may require collecting data through survey
research, computer modeling, or other analytical techniques. Moreover, WDI is
frequently able to adapt existing data to the specific concerns of the client.
Market analysis is used in the formulation of economic development plans and strategies, the development of business attraction and retention programs, downtown revitalization, and industrial development. Our level of effort can range from evaluation of existing market information to detailed market forecasts using multiple databases and computer modeling.
The following is a listing of the services that WDI provides:
