Creating Blueprints for Sustainable Communities

Led By Us & Associates (LBU) is a boutique economic development consulting firm focused on responsible urban revitalization.  We inspire and equip community stakeholders with necessary tools, resources, and confidence to build, design, and execute.  Together, we will empower the next wave of job creators, social impact investors, and community advocates necessary for sustainable cities

LBU is focused on three building blocks:

1. Community Development
2. Business & Workforce Development
3. Real Estate Development

​​These essential building blocks are the framework for economic development. The LBU approach builds communities through emphasizing civic pride while strengthening the core of the neighborhoods we love.  Our "FSP" process coupled with Strategies in Action for Communities (SiAC) methodology work seamlessly.  Our work with local and regional governments, non-profits, and private sector clients delivers comprehensive results based on collaborative planning and execution.

Great urban planning takes into consideration infill development and middle housing opportunities.   We must also look to fill "void" opportunities by building neighborhood businesses.  LBU is focused on small-scale developments that can make a huge impact.

Project types may vary, but the keys to social impact investing are universal.  We can teach you how to build passive income while helping to sustain our neighborhoods.  That is Responsible Urban Revitalization.
