A Comprehensive Snapshot of
Your Market's Potential
Built on Our Economic Development Experience
At MetroEdge, we employ a powerful set of proprietary and
census data and analytic frameworks to target optimal areas
for development. We identify wealth and assets in diverse
neighborhoods that may be overlooked by most investors. By
defining these areas, you can be assured that your development
plan is comprehensive and will promote healthy business development
and revitalization throughout the entire region.
Superior Insight Through Our Proprietary Local Data
Sets
MetroEdge gathers local data on neighborhoods and trends
that allows organizations to gain unique insights and better
highlight the opportunities in their markets. By aggregating
this data, often information not previously released, MetroEdge provides a central place and platform for local market
analysis and the creation of summary reports.
Local organizations and cities delivering such data benefit
in several ways: They can attract further investments for
their areas by giving potential investors confidence in the
profile of their communities; they can increase their visibility
with the growing number of companies that demand better information
compared across multiple cities in order to predict their
potential risk and performance; and they gain the ability
to access more in-depth analyses about their communities.
This data is updated yearly, and is available online so that
local organizations can capitalize on it on an ongoing basis.
MetroEdge provides the following products and services in
the government and community sectors:
- Aggregation and manipulation of key local data sets
- Economic development and business attraction strategy
- A City System for web-based access to reports
- Market highlight reports and maps
- Use of information for development planning
- Market studies for business attraction
The City System provides access to customized reports and
maps based upon MetroEdge's market intelligence. The system
pulls collected local data and key standard data to deliver
reports on any geography in a city. In essence, the MetroEdge
System provides cities with a sophisticated business tool
that allows them to create the types of reports companies
are used to and expect to see. System users have the ability
to customize their own reports very easily and the system
allows for a defined group of multiple users, with public
access available to particular demographic components of the
system.
We provide our clients with a comprehensive suite of market
studies from which to build an accurate and compelling attraction
strategy. Our studies will identify areas for optimal retail
development, determine the best mix of tenants for a particular
site or predict the performance of certain types of retail
activity – giving you the data you need for successful
economic growth.
