Economic Development Services
Fractional Economic Development Services
Vibrant Futures can assist communities where full-time on-site staffing is not viable or cost effective. We can support existing community staff with professional experience and skills to build a working and competitive economic development program. Under this program, we can provide a wide variety of expertise including, economic development program design and set-up, economic development program oversight, business retention and expansion program, and part-time economic development operations.​
Business Retention and Expansion Programs
The vast majority of new jobs are created by or with the existing industrial base. Too often this vital part of economic development is given little attention. Our team has decades of experience in establishing and operating retention and expansion programs. We can assist you in establishing a program and training your staff on the best practices in the field. Should you wish, we will establish and operate the program under our Fractional Services model.
Project Management
Often a community will find that they have succeeded in landing a project and they now need professional assistance in managing all of the details of delivering the community commitments and ensuring that the project is completed as planned. We can provide experienced project management staff to navigate all of the details.

Proof Preparation
Every community must prove it is capable of sustaining a prospective industry with qualified labor, training programs, utilities, and infrastructure. We can help you develop and prepare all of the needed facts to prove you are the best location.
