"Growing Local Economies produced a great strategic economic gardening plan. Since our EG program is to be regional in nature, the project is inherently complex. GLE quickly assessed our local situation and helped us put together a concrete plan that involved the coordination of a diverse set of organizations and jurisdictions. They provided us with a terrific product at a very reasonable cost."
