Target Industry Studies
Our focus is on implementation -- helping our clients to immediately realize success. We all recognize that economic development is a long-term endeavor; but that doesn't mean you can't see positive results in the near-term.
  • Overcome obstacles such as loss of industry jobs and increasing competition
  • Identify optimal and obtainable industries for your community
  • Predictable and sustainable recommendations
  • Implement “Real World” solutions that yield proven results

Economic development agencies face considerable challenges these days, from the continuing loss of traditional industry jobs to increasing competition from surrounding regions. With limited human and financial resources, it is critical that state and local governments focus their efforts on the attraction and retention of jobs in those industries that can provide the biggest boost to the regional economy. Silverlode Consulting can help you understand your region’s strengths and weaknesses, recommend your key competitive industries, and identify your optimal target industries. Our approach is characterized by a consistent focus on generating recommendations that are practicable and sustainable. We take a “real world” approach as opposed to an academic view based from more than five decades of combined experience in working with companies to assist them with their location decisions.
