INFO SHARING
Information Sharing keeps you in touch with the places where
change is taking place and the people who are making it happen.
For more information click on Livability
Central under Ongoing
Programs.
Study Tours are one of the most
effective means of gaining information. Nothing takes the
place of actually seeing a Best Practice and talking to the
people who brought it to life. Study tours are organized around
a specific topic; they can be close by and last a day or they
can be a continent away and take place over two weeks.
Communities wanting more than cursory information on a specific
topic often request Best Practice Research.
Tell us your concerns and objectives; we will gather Best
Practice information tailored specifically to you. For example,
you may want to know how to garner political support for instituting
a Business Improvement District. We can uncover this information
for you and analyze it, given the situation in your community.
Networking is how our members
stay in touch with one another. We facilitate this through
newsletters, conferences, and publications.
Resources
Partners is proud to present up-to-date information to our
clients on successful projects and creative leadership. We
track livability trends and make our own informed predictions
on future trends. We introduce you to the best practitioners
in the livability field.
Research Services
Partners can prepare a written analysis based on a survey
of amenities and offer recommendations for action. Some of
the reports we have produced include:
- a "cultural audit" of downtown Washington, DC,
describing all special cultural activities in the area.
It included outstanding examples from other parts of the
country and a plan to simulate such events for retail growth,
tourism, and civic enrichment in the nation’s capital.
- a marketing study completed for Richmond, Virginia analyzed
the need for additional spaces for the arts. A subsequent
feasibility study recommended one structure as a future
community arts facility.
