<br /> <br />PROJECT MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />Avalanche customizes our project team based on the needs of <br />our clients. We serve as a client's single point of contact and <br />communication for every step of the process. Our partners, TXP and <br />Gateway Planning Group, are high quality, senior consultants in the <br />fields of community planning, economic analysis, strategic planning, <br />and public policy. <br /> <br />The project team we have assembled for the City of La Porte is highly <br />specialized in economic development, marketing, public policy, and <br />place making. We offer a powerful team of experts who promise <br />to provide the City with a level of personal attention difficult to <br />find in large companies. Our expertise spans beyond the services <br />of a traditional economic development consultancy. Our rich <br />experience in these areas means that the course of action we <br />recommend to the City of La Porte will actually work - our tactics <br />are realistic, tested, and can be successfully implemented. <br /> <br />Avalanche, TXP, and Gateway Planning have a long history of <br />working together. Our most recent team proj ect (2007) was to write <br />an Economic Development Strategy for Kerr County and the City of <br />Kerrville, Texas. Much of the strategy focused on the redevelopment <br />and revitalization of Kerrville's historic downtown. In addition to the <br />Strategy, the team introduced the client to a real estate developer who <br />has now acquired the Kerrville's historic Shriner Hospital and plans to <br />restore the building as a mixed use residential complex. <br /> <br />Project Team: <br />Roles and Areas of Expertise <br /> <br />Amy Holloway <br />Project Management <br />Community Input <br />Marketing Communications <br />Strategic Planning <br /> <br />Jon Hockenyos <br />Economic Mix / Targeting <br />Development Policy <br />Strategy Development <br />Funding Sources <br /> <br />Travis James <br />Economic Analysis <br />Community Input <br />Economic Mix / Targeting <br />Strategy Development <br /> <br />Scott Polikov <br />Master Plan Review <br />Development Policy <br />Main Street District <br />Strategy Development <br /> <br />Jayashree Narayana <br />Urban Design <br />Comprehensive Planning <br />Zoning <br />Code-Based Form Development <br /> <br />We guarantee that the City of La Porte will be working with highly <br />experienced professionals every step of the way.
