Nightlife:

Dining, entertainment and socializing can provide nine additional hours of economic activity for traditional “9 to 5” districts. Whether planning for a new entertainment district or attempting to bring a chaotic nightlife scene back into balance, Sagacity Consultants are well-equipped to co-create and implement a successful night economy management plan.

special events:

Event-driven marketing programs are a must-have tool to vitalize downtowns and other urbanized areas. Sagacity’s partners have over 60 years combined experience producing signature festivals, concerts and special events. Sagacity can help design and implement creative event programming that strikes a responsive chord in your community, while potentially generating revenue for cities and businesses, and supporting the broader goals of a local community.

District Programs:

Sagacity’s team members are particularly adept at assessing the unique needs of a community, and designing cost-effective and revenue-generating programs that enhance the downtown experience. Expertise includes economic development, security, maintenance, parking/public space management, and special events. For established districts, we can analyze them for compliance with management plans, refine their efficiency and improve service quality and delivery.

Interim Technical Assistance and Training:

After formation, many start-up organizations lose ground as they attempt to launch a new organization, hire staff, and implement the new services and programs. Sagacity Consultants helps keep your new district on track, by adopting a temporary leadership role and transferring skill and knowledge to interim or new staff.
