Building Communities helps American communities define and pursue their future through a structured set of economic development strategies. The organization identifies 25 executable options designed to strengthen local economies and overall quality of life, selecting them by evaluating a community’s relative strengths and weaknesses across 85 success factors to determine their viability. To jump-start implementation, it provides a suite of concrete steps tied to each strategy, enabling communities to move from planning to action quickly. Its primary customers are community leaders and the American communities they guide, who need an objective, implementable roadmap. Positioned in the think-tank space, Building Communities emphasizes a plan-driven, non-promotional approach that translates assessments into a practical game plan for enacting a desired future. The firm is based in Baker City, Oregon, and operates with a small team.
