REAL Project Feasibility Analysis

Community Growth Institute is oriented in a way that creates three clear distinctions between the standard industry approach and our REAL approach to capital improvements planning.

First, we have combined planning, engineering and finance into one organization, but with an emphasis on planning. Our engineering and financial expertise supports great planning, and that planning focuses exclusively on small towns and rural areas. We are planners first, and that means our thinking is not limited by a professional silo or a finite set of tools in the toolbox.

Second, our approach sets the incentives correctly. Our business model does not depend on engineering a project or facilitating the financing. In other words, we have no direct financial stake in your outcomes – we are not motivated by the revenue potential of future projects. Our sole motivation is to give you the best professional advice possible.

Third, we don’t shirk reality. Our REAL approach is for local governments that seek prosperity for their citizens, and that want to redefine themselves to manage risk and build resiliency amid increasing austerity. Some communities prefer business as usual, with the traditional approach to growth and development. We’re not a good fit for those places. This is a new era.

We’ll do anything we can to help local leaders that want to get REAL.
