Economic
Development
 The
economy is forever evolving but the one constant is the need for
economic development. Economic development comes in many forms,
most of which are generated by the private sector. Government, however,
can and often does play an active and positive role in generating
economic activity. Fort Hill Advisors works with our clients to
craft new initiatives while maximizing existing initiatives
to foster economic growth and sustainability. In the past this has
taken the form of legislative and executive advocacy, brownfield
redevelopment assistance, former military base reuse, economic incentives,
tax relief, grants, legislatively earmarked funding, tax increment
financing and regulatory relief. Whatever the need, FHA will design
a strategy and implementation program for each of our clients.

Procurement,
Technology
 Government
is the largest purchaser of goods and services within our economy.

ordinarily are unattainable. We work closely with our clients as

Health
Care
 Fort
Hill Advisors understands the difficulties today’s health
care providers are facing. From changes in Medicaid policies to
mounting demands on personnel, it is clear that the fiscal health
of the health care industry is at risk. Once the exception, trying
to meet infinite needs with increasingly finite resources has become
the norm for managers of these facilities. Whether it be providing
access to policy makers to craft more flexible laws, guidelines,
and regulations, to creatively assisting in accessing an array of
funding sources, Fort Hill Advisors can help provide relief where
to date, none has existed.

Energy
and Utilities
 Fort
Hill Advisors long ago recognized that issues dealing with utilities
and energy delivery and regulation would remain on the front burner
of legislatures, governors and Congress for years to come. As a
result we have created an expertise within the firm that we continue
to develop. Serving clients who provide cable, fiber optics,
electric, hydro-electric power, and petroleum products and services
we have extensive experience helping entities manage their
relationship with government. Communications and advocacy are
critical when dealing with these public issues. FHA has the
time-tested relationships and experience to insure that our clients' issues and concerns
are on the table and taken into consideration at decision time.

Retail
 Retail
spending typically makes up 2/3 (two thirds) of all spending in
our economy. It is one of the industries that drive our local, state
and federal economies. Our Fort Hill team has vast experience in
working with both local retail merchants and large, national chains.
We here at Fort Hill have a track record of achieving desirable
results for making Massachusetts not only an attractive place to
open a retail business but to maintain an existing business as well.
Regardless of client size or issue, the Fort Hill team will develop
a strategic plan designed to achieve optimum success.
