GSP Economic Architecture: Growing Economies

With the right planning, design and execution, business, community and government leaders can create effective programs and practices that grow the economy. The Economic Architecture Practice at GSP Consulting provides the service and expertise to help those leaders create the infrastructure to accelerate economic growth.

GSP believes that a successful economic development strategy must be built on a thorough and realistic reflection of the community’s intrinsic assets and needs. The old model for economic development consulting involves the development of reports and then a hand off by the consultants to the client for implementation.
 
GSP Economic Architecture, a division of GSP Consulting, takes a different approach by working collaboratively with clients to create, implement, and assess programs to ensure long-term viability and success. GSP is not in the business of creating reports that end up on a clients's shelf, never to be implemented.

Through unique national experience, the Economic Architecture team assists the growth of state and local economies with innovative economic strategies. Their array of services to governments and organizations focus on:

  • Tech-based Strategy Formulation
  • Technology Transfer
  • Incubator/Infrastructure Development
  • Adaptive Urban Re-use Strategies
  • Economic Impact Analysis
  • Site Selection and Incentives Negotiation
  • Strategic Blueprints
  • Best and Worst Practices Analysis
  • Cluster/Industry Development
  • Economic Marketing
  • Industry Sector Benchmarking
  • Market Research and Data Mining
  • Entrepreneurial Development
  • Regional Asset Mapping

Extensive market research is the starting point for GSP’s economic development strategies, so that they can provide a strong and tailored Strategy and Business Plan that is customer-driven, with a constant focus on constituents, revenues, and sustainability.

GSP Economic Architecture not only specializes in designing, building, and implementing economic development initiatives, but also in securing funds to support them. Their diverse team has served on the front-lines of economic development and has pioneered groundbreaking initiatives.
