Funding for Specific Projects

For any urban or community development project, we specialize in nonprofit and municipal grant writing services. We identify both private and public grant makers to approach for funding, based on the individual project’s characteristics and the amount needed. By conducting ongoing research into grant opportunities, Taggart Associates can quickly identify and apply for the best funding for your project. 

Community Benefit Districts

Taggart Associates conducts feasibility studies and implementation services for the creation of Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDS) and Business Improvement Districts (BIDS) through our community and economic development services. These Districts, now more commonly known as Community Benefit Districts (CBD), allow residents and business owners to assess themselves to gain funding for special projects to pay for special benefits. Property owners in the district derive the direct benefit of their dollars by identifying and funding projects or items that local governments may not be willing or able to fund. Taggart Associates can manage this entire CBD study and implementation process. Since the formation of CBDs are governed by legislation, it is important to have a qualified and experienced team of economic development professionals to ensure compliance during the formation of a CBD.

Brownfields and Environmental Planning
If your project involves brownfields or other environmental remediation issues, it is imperative to know the latest land use laws and regulations. Likewise, transportation initiatives are governed by policies and guidelines which can become cumbersome and add additional expenses to a project if not clearly understood and managed by experts. Knowledge of these regulations and guidelines can directly impact the types of funding sources to pursue for any given project.  

To avoid costly delays, trust Taggart Associates to use our over-50-years of combined experience and industry knowledge to secure the right funding and critical public support for your unique project.

From the Lehigh Valley to the tri-state area and across the country, Taggart Associates helps find unique, sustainable solutions to urban challenges in communities just like yours. Let us help you facilitate your change with success.
