Regardless of the market size, commercial corridors in urban and rural communities are experiencing rapid declines in property values and market share. The national trend of stagnating and declining "inner ring" suburbs has been largely attributed to the deterioration of the commercial corridors within them. In midsize and rural markets, corridors that were once the gateway to the community are now an inventory of commercial and industrial land uses with little connection to neighborhoods or employment centers. Attempts to advance smart growth and economic sustainability have also been significantly compromised by the deteriorating effects of declining corridors. Together, the public and private sectors face the challenge of revitalizing the commercial strips that once represented the lifeblood of these communities. Leland Consulting Group (LCG) has proven that the competitive position of the markets connected by corridors can be enhanced by thoughtful repositioning of the corridors' role, recognition of current target markets, and restructuring of their physical layout to reflect the more mature nature of the communities that surround them. Leland Consulting Group, through experience and inspiration, has successfully initiated corridor redevelopment efforts in communities throughout the country as noted in the representative client list. LCG understands the barriers to investment, and recognizes opportunities inherent in this type of environment. Our recommendations lead to new investment and reinvestment through an approach that engages the "delivery system" and promotes accountability.
