Our Future Communities Start Here

“The primary challenge [we’ve faced] has been the difficulty in finding investors who are genuinely excited about the opportunity. However, by refusing to give up, maintaining ongoing conversations with potential individuals, refining the project proposal, and seeking external support, we remain committed to finding a path forward and realizing the vision of economic development in the City of Harrison.” HARRISON

OPPORTUNITY: Grow tourism and provide local amenities to attract those who come to the region to visit. OBSTACLE: Finding investors who were interested in and excited about developing a new hotel in a smaller town. PREDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE: Provided a project feasibility study to understand the best development strategy based on what the community could realistically support. COMMUNITY PROGRESS: Data-backed vision boosts buy-in, propels economic development, and advance the city as a travel destination.
