Planning and implementing "Green" components  into your economic development work plan tells your clients that you welcome sustainable development. We can help you plan  strategies that can attract/retain more "Green" business.


• Targeted Industry Analysis: Businesses will cluster in regions that are best for their success. Our unique target industry methodology utilizes actual location/expansion information to determine real clustering patterns in your area, why these locations trends will continue and how your community best matches up for attracting more.

Krea Global specializes in corporate and community studies that may include: cost/availability/quality analysis, underemployment studies, commuter analysis, training needs assessment, "Green" skill needs assessments, and organizational/funding analysis.
  
  
• Target Marketing & Implementation: Getting your message to the right targets is what economic development is all about. We have developed a time tested method  for domestic and international growth needs that involves:
  • strategic planning.
  • target research.
  • telemarketing/appointment setting - what we call economic tele-development.

• Freight/Logistics Model and Analysis: Krea Global  has developed a unique freight model and analysis designed exclusively for economic developers. It tracks truck, rail, air freight and even barge freight costs, so that you can do a professional job of advising and selling your clients as to why your community will work for them.
  
  
• Cost Comparison Reports: Corporate decision makers want to understand the "bottom line" advantages when staying or relocating. The cost comparison report takes a hypothetical target project and runs cost and condition comparisons between your community and your competition, including labor, real estate, utilities and cost of living. The results can be compelling reasons to take a closer look at your community!
