How should place management organizations work together to advance common city-wide goals?
Washington, D.C., faces new, unprecedented economic development challenges that rival those of the 2007-8 financial crisis and recall the era of the Financial Control Board. The behaviors of office workers and consumers have fundamentally shifted, and place management organizations find themselves on the front lines of a fierce competition for resources and investments. The future vitality of Washington, D.C.’s high-density urban districts is at stake.
Services included comprehensive stakeholder engagement, an organizational performance assessment, identification of global best practices, and articulation of a strategy to organize, resource, and position the DC BID Council to support and advance the work of more than a dozen place management organizations in place-based economic development.
