Governments & Communities
Transformative community projects rarely come with a simple roadmap.
Cities, counties, public agencies, and community organizations turn to LNE Group when an important project requires funding, changes in public policy, outside investment, or coordination across multiple levels of government.
We bring together government relations, public funding, economic development, and strategic expertise to help communities move ambitious priorities from idea to implementation.
Where we can help
- 01
You have a project but need to figure out how to fund it
Infrastructure, public facilities, redevelopment, healthcare, public safety, and other community priorities often require multiple funding sources.
We help identify and pursue federal and state grants, appropriations, capital funding, agency programs, and other resources, and develop a strategy for assembling them around the project.
- 02
State law or regulation stands in the way
Sometimes moving a local priority forward requires action beyond city hall.
We help communities understand the legislative or regulatory pathway, develop the case for change, build support, and engage state policymakers and agencies through implementation.
- 03
You want to attract investment, jobs, or a major project
We help communities position sites and assets, identify potential investors and employers, coordinate incentives and infrastructure, and engage the public and private partners needed to compete.
- 04
A complex local asset needs a new strategy
Hospitals, redevelopment sites, downtown districts, infrastructure assets, and other major community resources can present questions that cross funding, policy, ownership, investment, and operations.
We conduct the research, evaluate the options, and build a strategy for what comes next.
- 05
You need to build support around a community priority
Major projects often require alignment among elected officials, residents, businesses, institutions, funders, and other stakeholders.
We help identify the people who matter, develop the case for action, build coalitions, and coordinate support around a shared objective.
- 06
A new state or federal program creates an opportunity
New programs can move quickly and come with complicated rules.
We help communities understand what has changed, determine whether an opportunity fits local priorities, and develop the partnerships, funding strategy, and government engagement needed to pursue it.
A recent engagement
