McSweeney and Associates
McSweeney & Associates works hard to deliver effective community economic development programs. Solutions begin with understanding. That’s why McSweeney & Associates’ first steps involve thorough, in-depth analysis of your local economy. You can expect this analysis to reveal economic development challenges you share with other communities. But you can also expect insight into challenges that are uniquely yours. Knowledge of your unique situation helps us tailor project processes and find solutions that work. They begin with questions suited to a wide range of community stakeholders. The answers, plus statistical data, feed analysis. This, in turn, informs strategies and tactics that respond to a community’s specific economic development challenges. During a project, the McSweeney team listens carefully and respectfully. They keep their promises and convey findings directly and clearly. View Flyer | Learn More
