Services

The questions we help cities and communities answer are complex, so there are no 'canned' or 'one size fits all' solutions in our business. We customize our products and services to the specific needs and challenges of each client. The depth of our expertise provides us with a unique strategic vision to help cities' leaders address the most challenging issues. While the breadth of our experiences provides us with the practical know-how to take ideas from concept to implementation, we understand the diverse interests involved in redevelopment consulting -- from city officials to citizens, developers, consultants, technical experts, lawyers, architects, engineers, investment bankers, real estate appraisers, and transportation agencies. We have earned a reputation for balancing these diverse interests.

Redevelopment

In 1979, RSG started providing redevelopment consulting services to a few clients.  Thirty years and over 150 redevelopment plans later, redevelopment is still one of our core services.  We like it, and we’re good at the nuts and bolts of it: plan adoption and implementation, financing, development planning, developer solicitation and selection, real and personal property acquisition, and rehabilitation program administration.

Financing

RSG specializes in fiscal consulting services for cities and redevelopment agencies.  Our clients’ needs are diverse--from strategic financial planning to taxing agency pass-through calculations to redevelopment project area revenue projections.  What they have in common is the need for a consultant who understands public policy, whose forecasts are thorough and reliable, and whose work is on time:  RSG.  And, RSG staff is comfortable working with key players on any financing team-city staff, underwriters, bond counsel, bond insurers, rating agencies, or other financial consultants or credit institutions.
