Economic Development ♦ Site Selection ♦ Public Policy
Sanford Holshouser is the most experienced full-service economic development consulting firm in the Southeast, and among a handful of premier firms nationally. Our success is the product of a uniquely qualified team and a visionary philosophy.
Our partners bring a practitioner-based approach to our consulting because we have headed economic development organizations at the local, regional and state levels. Our experience ranges across the economic development spectrum: recruiting, BRE, workforce development, site location consulting, local government management, law, utilities, marketing, and economic analysis. The truth is, few other consulting firms in the U.S. can match our team for real world experience.
Whether we’re helping communities attract companies, or helping companies select a site, we remain steadfast in our mission: to forge long-term relationships that produce sustainable economic prosperity for communities and companies alike.
