The city of Port St. Lucie asked the panel to develop a Master Plan and development strategies for the Southern Grove city-owned parcels or Study Area.

The intention was for the panel to provide the city of Port St. Lucie with a vision, goals, and a strategy for the successful development of the study area as an employment center. The intention of the development is to both address the debt concerns on the site as well as provide well-paid job opportunities.

An Advisory Services Panel convened to provide strategic advice on infrastructure investment, economic development, technology, and land use and design in Hancock County, Indiana.

The Mt. Comfort Corridor is located one mile east of Indianapolis, in western Hancock County, and is bisected by I-70. The region is anchored by the limits of the Towns of Cumberland, McCordsville, and New Palestine. Local communities expect the corridor to see significant private investment over the next 5 – 7 years. The anticipated growth will create opportunities as well as inherent challenges.

The Advisory Services Panel was invited to North Charleston to offer a fresh perspective on the future of 22-acre Charleston Naval Hospital site, adjacent parcels along Rivers Avenue, and the economic growth of several surrounding neighborhoods — Chicora-Cherokee, Whipper Barony, and Pinecrest.

The City of North Charleston has rebuilt its economy on the strong industrial roots established by its military heritage. New industry and manufacturing have more than replaced the job loss caused by base closures, and the city is now the third largest in the state of South Carolina. However, this growth has not been enjoyed by all North Charleston residents and neighborhoods. This dynamic is highlighted by the City’s tallest building, the former Charleston Naval Hospital which remains shuttered since the base closures. At 10-stories and approximately 400,000 square feet, the hospital is a towering reminder of the community’s loss.
