 KU Resources can assist public, non-profit, or private clients with environmental, economic development, government and community relations, real estate, and redevelopment needs. Partnering closely with our clients, we develop tailored methodologies to address real estate, financial, and community development disparities.
Our firm is dedicated to the revitalization and redevelopment of distressed properties and communities. Our personnel will work closely with public agencies, private companies, community and economic development organizations, and other stakeholders to accomplish their goals.
We work with all levels of government – Federal, State, county, and municipal, and will effectively leverage financial and other assistance from the private and public sectors. Since the political and economic environments directly impact our clients’ projects, our personnel understand the importance of effectively negotiating with regulatory and economic agencies.
Local government decisions that play a role in economic development include land use planning, public works, recreation, and infrastructure. Government infrastructure services in water, wastewater, sewer, and local roads all have an impact on economic activity. By and large, local governments have not considered these interrelationships or how they can use tools currently available to them to influence local economic development activity. Among the areas communities have the means to address proactively include regulatory flexibility, land use regulations, taxation, and financing.
Overall, we assist our public clients to achieve their objectives of job creation and the return of idle properties to a taxable status and productive use, and our private clients in adding value to their assets.
