OVERVIEW
Why are some jurisdictions able to complete more community improvement projects than others? Why are some communities more successful in bouncing back after a disaster or a pandemic than others? Fundamental reasons are planning, preparation, rapid response, grants, and interagency cooperation.
At RGS, we know that the best defense is a good offense. We bring more than 110 years of experience helping jurisdictions of all sizes maximize available funding for vital community improvement projects, and to prepare for and respond to disruptions by:
- Strategically pursuing grants that improve infrastructure, offer more resources to businesses, and enhance the quality of life for residents.
- Utilizing proven strategies to successfully develop and review grant applications with an objective perspective.
- Conducting grant funding analysis to measure impact.
- Conducting assessments and taking inventory of tools, assets, and vulnerabilities
- Collaborating with the community to clearly define SMART economic goals, before and after a disruption
- Establishing strong collaborative relationships with partner organizations and neighboring jurisdictions
- Building resiliency into policy by creating an environment where businesses thrive, and local governments strategically make longer-term fiscal decisions and actions.
- Rebuilding in a way that addresses prior weaknesses, challenges and future risks
We ask the questions: “How will this grant move the needle on the community’s priority projects?”, “How can we expand the community’s capacity in order to take advantage of grant funding?”, and lastly, “What is the grant’s economic impact on the community?”, “What matters most during a disaster?”, “What else can be done to mitigate threats?”, and lastly, “How does this this make the community more resilient?”
Our services will enable your community to effectively plan, prepare, and respond to the next emergency, and receive grant funding critical to advance priority projects.
Let us help you incorporate economic resiliency into all aspects of your ED strategy BEFORE a disaster or disruption occurs with our Grant Development & Disaster Recovery Implementation Services assessment.
