Baker & Daniels guides emerging and established companies and nonprofits through the maze of economic development with decades of experience. We have a long history of working with all sorts of private businesses and nonprofit organizations to help them achieve their economic and community development goals. Our professionals have helped foreign and domestic businesses across the United States with advanced manufacturing and industrial, distribution and logistics, life sciences and high technology, housing and commercial, downtown community development and redevelopment, corporate headquarters, sports strategies, alternative/renewable energy, agriculture and other sectors in urban, suburban and rural communities.
Economic and community development projects, including public-private partnerships, require a deep understanding of government and keen sense of business, both of which Baker & Daniels' economic development team members possess. It's experience that allows us to understand business, how it thinks and how it connects to government. We help our clients develop relationships with state, local and federal government agencies to compete through the building, consolidation, expansion and relocation of business operations, including facilities and equipment in a cost effective and timely fashion.
Each Baker & Daniels client receives customized service to accomplish its business development objectives. Services include strategic planning, site selection, incentive identification and negotiation, economic development agreements, land use planning and zoning, environmental remediation and permitting, construction contracts and tax analysis. B&D Consulting, our consulting arm in Washington, D.C., assists in the utilization of federal programs and funds for our clients. Our consultants have deep backgrounds in government issues after serving as Congressional representatives and federal lobbyists.
