What EY can do for you
Through more than 25 years of experience working with 200+ communities, we believe that modern economic development strategies are most impactful when they are holistic and inclusive of the entire community. That begins with the planning process. Our approach to strategic planning emphasizes community engagement coupled with in-depth competitive evaluations and global market insights. During the process, we help prepare our clients to deploy the strategy and arm them with tools for seamless implementation. The end result is a community that supports business growth, has a stronger talent pipeline and experiences greater economic performance.
