I am pleased to announced today the formation of yet another business to serve communites.  THE RETAIL INCUBATION PROJECT will work with communites to develop retail incubators--primarily in downtowns and commercial districts.

THE RETAIL INCUBATION PROJECT is an extension of the The Downtown Entrepreneurship Project and Economic Development Visions, two boutique consulting practices that I currently own and manage.  As with the two existing businesses, we will be dedicated to creativity, innovation, rule-breaking, customer service and an acceptance of the reality that communites have constrained budgets.  

Retail Incubation is catching on nationally, thanks in great part to the Downtown Entrepreneurship Project.  I am currently working in Granby, Colorado where an incubator appears likely, I did a full-scale incubator program for Jeffersonville, Indiana and was just hired by Newton, New Jersey to help them with a downtown incubator.  I realized that a separate group to handle RETAIL INCUBATION was necessary--hence THE RETAIL INCUBATION GROUP.

As with all of my businesses, I intend to attract and nurture the  best talent I can for each project.  This is something the large established firms with high overhead simply cannot do.  We are nimble, creative, committed to change and creativity and have an established history as agents of change.  So the RETAIL INCUBATION PROJECT is ready to roll.  We will have our website up soon and we will have a blog addressing issues related to RETAIL INCUBATION.

Best---
