Adam Bruns of Site Selection magazine discusses a speech delivered by Amy Liu of the Metropolitan Policy Program. Is it possible that disadvantaged long-term economic development strategies could have their chances improved by improving the long-term chances of the disadvantaged themselves?


"There is pressure to grow an economy that works for more people," she said, and make regions as inclusive as they are competitive. "That means a stronger focus on the productive nature of our industries, and making investments in workers and communities. The economy today is structurally broken, and our strategies cannot continue to move down the same path if we're going to be relevant to industry in an environment that's much more disruptive today."

A NEW APPROACH TO CORPORATE GROWTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY WITH INCENTIVES

Successful 21st Century corporations understand the value and rewards of working with a Business Incentive Professional to create markets for state incentives and locational positioning. 
     

An Incentive Professional goes beyond being a commercial real estate broker who profits from a traditional buy/sell agreement and tenant representation. A IP wants to learn about your business in order to create a market between states to earn structured incentive dollars to grow your business by reducing business cost and improve job creation, tax revenue, and consumer spending.
     

Schnitzler Inc, aims to identify the opportunities for your company to receive incentives by listening to your location and growth plans before they commence and leverage our political relationships to broker incentives that promote the economic growth cycle of the 21st century.
