Project descriptions for the most recent projects I contributed to while at Willdan Financial Group.
Crossroads Area Redevelopment Study and Analysis for the City of Omaha: Recently concluded conducting a market analysis of a regional mall redevelopment project by creating a demographic and economic profile that will evaluate the current health of business environment surrounding the Crossroads development and nearby competition through analysis of existing housing, retail, office, entertainment and intuitional conditions, and evaluating future demand for residential, commercial and office uses. Also created a Comprehensive Market Feasibility Study Report that describes the current market of Omaha as well as the regional trade area for the Crossroads Project. It includes a market assessment of the regional drawing power of the location, development strategy of a mixed-use and high-density transit-oriented district, and evaluate any retail leakage from Omaha that robs the City and State of sales tax revenue.

The City of Kalispell Core Area Commercial Market Analysis: The Market Analysis assisted in the redevelopment of the Core Area in accordance with the vision to revitalize the Core Area while retaining its character and identity.

It also evaluates the environmental, social, and other public benefits that are difficult to quantify, but have a positive impact on the community.
