Garner Economics, LLC

Garner Economics, LLC We are data driven strategists helping companies, communities and organizations, large and small, urban and rural, achieve success. It is our cornerstone.

We help clients in creating and executing a tailored strategy for effective growth or in finding the optimal location for their operations. We believe in the essential worth of research to understand and better plan for a community’s economic development success or a company’s optimal location choice. Our economic assessments are in-depth, comprehensive, and thorough. We insist upon digging deeply

and mining for the most detailed demographics data, industry statistics, or comparative rankings because we know that businesses considering other potential locations will do the same. We understand that every community and company is different and approach each client with the goal of uncovering their unique assets and character; or in finding that ideal location for a company’s investment (especially considering that there are 3,141 counties in the United States alone!). Through our work with more than 125 clients, Garner Economics has developed a realistic and rigorous methodology to identify areas of competitive advantage and integrate our recommendations into actionable, implementation plans.

The Site Selectors Guild recently concluded our 10th Annual Conference in Orlando with over 400 attendees. It was a tremendous honor to serve as the Chair of the Site Selectors Guild during our 2020-21 governance year. Thank you to our new Chair of the Board and my friend, Chris Lloyd, for this plaque commemorating my service. We pivoted at the start of the pandemic, created a new business plan called Guild Forward, and had great success as an organization as a result of our plan. Many Guild members helped make our success happen. And of course, we couldn’t achieve any of our goals without the support from our Economic Development Organization friends from around the globe. Check out our Annual Report to see our year in review and our path forward. https://siteselectorsguild.com/wp-content/uploads/SSG-Annual-Report-2021.pdf
