We’ve Already done the heavy lifting
We can Develop a Path to Greatness
For the past 7 years we have been traveling the country, talking with community leaders, developing new economic strategies, creating new programs, changing community culture, discovering what works and most importantly discovering what does not work when it comes to economic development.
Founded by Chris and Heidi Cochran, Cochran Advisors has one goal: to assist local leadership create a new model of economic uplift by helping cities find and grow their sustainable industry of excellence.
We’ve been working with cities and community leaders across the country for nearly a decade and one thing we have learned is that there is no single approach that works in every community. Just because something worked in a rural western state it does not mean that the same tactics would work in an East Coast inner-city.
We believe that economic development should also be about more than just tech start-ups, accelerators, venture capital, and large companies relocating.
There has to be a human element.
There has to be community involvement.
There has to be a cultural element.
Cochran Advisors helps local leaders and take on the role of the “hero” in their community story.
