Community Revitalization Desktop Guide - (Page 52) with investment to redevelop a property but also brought new tenants — employers with jobs to grow the local economy. Provide a transparent, supportive process. Be straight with us. We need to know what you can make happen. False starts cost money. An environmental assessment alone is a couple hundred thousand dollars. Do not bring us in if you already have a developer with close political connections chosen for the project or if there is a major player in town who will oppose us for whatever reason. Bristol Borough is a great example of a town that was open and helpful from the beginning. The town is a beautiful historic town. They had a wonderful old building, the old Dial Soap Factory, with high ceilings and river views. The process we went through was transparent. The Borough held open public meetings. They agreed to rezone the property. There were no political surprises. And when we found a potential tenant for the site, Lenox, a maker of quality dishes and giftware who would bring 400 employees to town, the Mayor called them up and said “we want you here and we will do whatever we can to help.” A call like that makes a difference about how a tenant feels about a project. Promote your town. Towns that don’t promote themselves probably won’t be discovered by a developer. You need to treat your town or city as a product. Sketch out the four corners of the opportunity and promote yourself. There are many opportunities to attract interest; one possibility is to come to a conference like the statewide Brownfields Conference and make a clear, persuasive case for why your town would make a good investment. A town attracted us that way just last year. Also, partner with the region as a whole to advertise yourselves. Together you may be able to show the kind of economic opportunity we are looking for and can bring value to. INTERVIEWS WITH DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE INVESTED IN PA CITIES AND TOWNS 52
