Development Advisory Services
VCDAS exists to catalyze transformative small-town projects—especially those that might otherwise stall due to limited local development capacity. We work hand-in-hand with developers and owners to create housing, attract businesses, and revitalize commercial corridors, with a focus on affordability, sustainability, and long-term community benefit.
Our Services Include:
-
We lead projects from the ground up—permitting, site planning, construction oversight and building the team that will see the project through to completion.
-
We help line up creative and sustainable financing solutions, from public-private partnerships to historic and low-income housing tax credits, grant strategies and financial guarantees. Through partnership with our comprehensive lending services, we can also offer flexible, below-market loans to projects in conjunction with the development services offered through VCDAS.
-
We navigate regulatory pathways to secure the approvals necessary to move your project forward.
-
From small-scale main street revitalization to multi-use projects with residential and commercial components, we bring deep knowledge of what it takes to make these efforts successful.
Whether you're a town official, a member of a Main Street organization, a small-town foundation, or a community member trying to get your project off the ground, VCDAS is your go-to partner for bringing community-focused development projects to life.
